We had an amazing experience with Giancarlo and his flat. When we got there, his parents actually met us in the square in front of the flat and showed us up. The flat is on the third floor (for those from the united states) or on the second floor for everyone else. Two full bedrooms, a very nice bathroom and a full shower, and a small dining area and fully functional kitchen was all we could ask for and more. We had more than enough room for four adults and a one year old. One thing to keep in mind is that they do charge a Florence tourist tax of 2.50 euro per person a day which is due when you check in and can only be paid in cash. This is no fault of Giancarlo though, as it is the sort of "hotel" tax that any city in the US charges too. We had everything that we needed, although I'd recommend either bringing your own shampoo or buying some while you're there as there was only one small bottle of it for four adults... Again not a problem--just a suggestion. The kitchen was fully stocked, although with the quality of food in Firenze, and someone probably being there on vacation, there's no reason to dirty many dishes. It was a fun location right on the piazza de la passera. I wouldn't recommend this place for a quiet stay as the square is busy all day and most of the night, but that's the charm of this place. The festive sounds actually work as white noise and help you sleep on the very comfortable foam mattresses. It also helps with the fact that you are one minute to the Pitti Palace and the Ponte Vecchio, and maybe five from the Duomo. The restaurants and gelaterias on the square are reasonably priced and world class as well. My wife and I were discussing that you could do an evening of aperitivos, dinner, after dinner drinks, dessert, and gelato all without losing sight of this flat. As I'm sure I've said enough for three reviews, I'll stop even though I can go on. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions, and suffice it to say I will thoroughly recommend this stay to anyone who's thinking of going to Florence/Firenze/Paradise.
