Gabrielle's home is a piece of art. His touches on all the walls and corners are unique and speak of his character. The house is located just a few minutes from the bus station that takes you to the tram T1 which gets you to downtown Florence and everywhere you want to go. You can also walk that part to the tram as it is not that far.
There are also supermarkets around the tram station where you could get your tram pass and buy groceries etc, the people working there speak english and they are very kind and helpful.
The neighborhood is safe and beautiful and lets you get in touch with the local life that you wouldn't otherwise experience, and that is always what I enjoy most in my stays.
Our room was large and had a big screen and we loved hanging out there, you also have a private garden! :)
We did not meet Gabrielle but his friend Cecilia is the most beautiful person you could ever meet, she is the kindest and with the biggest heart and smile. Our stay in Florence wouldn't have been the same without her, though we met her only once, we stayed in touch and she was super generous with all the local tips and everything else.
Gabrielle as well was very responsive and helped with answering all our questions.
There are no stairs which is a plus if you have luggage. It is also near the train station, a few minutes from there, from this station you could go to Milan and other cities.
This is the perfect place with the perfect people, do not think twice about staying there!
