We loved Gianni's place because it was just outside the inner city activity, and was so quiet you could have easily thought you were tucked away somewhere in southern Italy. The potential noise of staying in Florence was the big concern for us and we found Gianni's place to be the perfect place to be able to rest and yet be easy walking distance to the shops and all the tourist landmarks. On leaving Gianni organised a taxi for us. He was always readily available to assist us in any way.
