Gianfranco's apartment was in such a great location, overlooking the tram stop where we got off when we arrived. The tram stop to go in the other direction (towards the city centre) is a two minute walk away and it only takes ten minutes to get to the centre.
The check-in instructions were really clear and helpful, and Gianfranco kindly let us check in late in the evening. The apartment was really clean and had everything we needed to cook. We enjoyed making coffee in the moka pot and have since bought our own one!
Unlike some city apartments, there was loads of space for two people and a comfy, large sofa to relax on. The bed was comfy too. The shower was a great size, especially for my tall husband! We absolutely loved using the balcony which has great views over Florence.
We found that a few mosquitoes managed to get in but the nets on all the windows definitely kept most of them out, and we used a plug-in repellent to deter the rest.
Only two things surprised us - there is a CCTV camera inside the apartment covering the front entrance. I totally understand the need for security but would have liked to know beforehand. Also the bathroom door is a sliding one that doesn't fit tightly too the doorframe, which took some getting used to. A funny start to our honeymoon!
Overall we really enjoyed our stay at the apartment and Gianfranco was very quick and helpful when we asked questions. We would love to come back again one day and definitely recommend this place!
