Staying at LaGabbiadelGrillo 2 was an awesome experience. The neighborhood is fantastic as you are centrally located right next to the duomo. My only complaint was that it was a little bit dusty in the apartment - however do not let this stop you from booking. While Alain was not available to welcome us, his friend Vieri did a great job - and was even available to unlock the door for us when we accidentally locked ourselves out. Overall a great time and a great place for a stay in Florence.
