We had a fabulous stay at Giaime's Renaissance Beauty in Florence. The building is old and nostalgic and in the most incredible location. The walk from the train station was about 10 minutes and the apartment is absolutely central to EVERYTHING. And I mean everything. Restaurants are literally right outside the front door, markets are about 2 minutes away, and all the sites of Florence within moments of the apartment. Giaime is an incredible host. Upon entering the apartment, there was a tray full of welcoming snacks, drinks and wine. He is always accessible and returns messages within moments of receiving them. The apartment is spacious and well equipped. Having a washer AND dryer was a huge bonus! Supplies were plentiful, however, the market was just steps away if anything should be needed. The apartment is located on a moderately busy street, so beware of the noise if you are sleeping in the front bedroom. It's really very noisy, BUT...I just used earplugs and that solved the problem. Another issue was the water pressure. The second bathroom literally dripped water from the shower much of the time and controlling the temperature was a challenge. The main bathroom has a tub and the pressure was much better, however, temperature control was an issue there as well. We managed to work around all of that and none of these things are deal breakers. If I am ever so blessed to return to Florence again and Giaime's place is still available, I would stay there in a heartbeat. He is such a gracious host and you just can't beat the value and the location. Thank you, Giaime!
