We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Gio's very unique flat in Florence. Living in a working studio of a local artist may not suit everyone but it really added to our experience and our host, while we didn't cross paths often, was very attentive to our needs and made us feel at home. The living space was comfortable but don't leave the window open! We were bit the first night by Mosquitos. The fan Gio provided kept the loft comfortable. The quirkiness and clutter may not suit everyone's accomodation needs, but if you want a truly unique experience give Gio's place a try! We also loved the neighborhood south of the Arno and spent much time at the square where 4 Leones cafe is and where you will find the best gelato.
