Gianpaolo is one of the most attentive hosts I've met through Airbnb. He met me when I arrived, emailed to check that I was having a good stay, and met me when I was checking out. He offered his personal recommendations of museums and restaurants that greatly improved my experience here in Florence, and even stocked the kitchen with some basics so that I didn't need to do grocery shopping. The apartment itself is homey and a good launching pad for exploring the city. The neighborhood is just past the hustle and bustle of the river, but a two minute walk to the best pizza, gelato, baked goods, fresh produce, and even health food that you could find in the city (on and around Santo Spirito). The main sights are not much farther, and I walked comfortably to and from the train station with a heavy roller bag (20 minutes for someone in good health). There was even a quiet backyard garden for enjoying a glass of wine after a long day of sightseeing. Thank you, Gianpaolo!
