The first thing you need to know is that all the reviews that people have written are true: this apartment is absolutely fantastic and Cristina and Gianni are the loveliest hosts you could ever wish for.

We arrived at the train station and because of a few mistakes in our planning, we were completely lost and could not find the right bus to bring us to the apartment. Instead of arriving 45 minutes early, we ended up being an hour late. Luckily Cristina and Gianni were super kind about it and what's more, they were incredibly helpful as they gave us really clear directions on where to buy bus tickets, which bus to get and how to walk to the apartment from the bus stop.

Gianni welcomed us in the apartment and really took his time to explain everything about the apartment, neighbourhood etc.

They also presented us with a map full of extra information about Florence (all info you could need about musea, restaurants, their favourite spots to go to) and best of all: there were three walks in there (which they made themselves). We did two of them and they were great. All this extra information really enriched our stay.
There were (apart from herbs, oil, salt etc.) also teas, honey, pastries, cookies and hazelnuts in the apartment, which were a lovely extra touch.

The neighbourhood the apartment is in is really nice and quiet, we felt very safe there. The apartment is not right in the historic city centre, but around a 20 minute walk away. We actually enjoyed not being right in the centre, but just a bit outside of it. The walk was also very nice, so it was no problem walking this every day.

Furthermore, the apartment itself is just fantastic as well. A beautiful kitchen, which even had a freezer, good utensils, a very nice, spatious living room with comfortable couches, a nice bedroom with a very comfortable bed and a nice bathroom as well.

And lastly, Florence is just beautiful as well.

So, concluding, Florence is beautiful and Cristina and Gianni's apartment is the perfect place to stay.
