Giulia is a wonderful host - very helpful and a great communicator. Her apartment is spacious (although the kitchen is very small but we happily cooked meals each night) and comfortable. Having 2 bathrooms was a real bonus. Walking into the city centre each day was a great way to start the day - about 20 minutes. Lots of cafes on the way. A great supermarket close to apartment. Lovely views of the canal ( with otters) and hills from the balcony. We used several of Giulia tips and particularly enjoyed catching the bus up to Fiesole for fabulous views and dinner at a cafe.
