Guido's place is the perfect spot to book for a trip to Florence. Location is quiet and very close to everything. 10-15 minute walk to Douma, and other surrounding museums, 20 minutes to the River and Pitti Palace. The apartment is full of light and the balcony is spacious for Italian standards. The hosts were always available and provided immediate response for any questions we had.
They have wifi and a hot spot that work well. Nice touch to have a smart phone to share with the guests. Beds were comfortable, and hot water was plentiful. The elevator/lift is a blessing! Check in was pretty simple, but you will need a mobile phone to open the front door the first time. If you don't have one, then ask your driver to call the number. It will open the door automatically.
Take note that you need to call a taxi via phone to have them pick you up in front of the apt. Otherwise you will need to walk a ways to a taxi stand. There is no ridesharing in Florence at this time. Also, there are weird times the roads may be blocked. I believe it is traffic control. Your car, taxi, driver etc may not be able to park on the street.
The only thing we didn't like was that they require you to take your trash down the block to the public bin before you leave. Make time to do that before you cab arrives!
We highly recommend this host!
PS. We highly suggest a PRIVATE tour of Chianti region (Cool Tours) and hiring a guide to go through Uffizi. We used Ingrid for the Ufizzi tour. We also booked an evening in Tuscany at a Villa for cooking class and opera. Kitchen in the Opera. WOW that was awesome. Wish we would have booked more tours. Oh well. Next time for sure!
