Georgio was great. The place was great. It is on a quite little street just seconds away from the crowds of tourists and major sites. We walked everywhere. The Duomo is a 10 minute walk. Uffizi Museum is a 10 minutes away. There are cute little restaurants on just about every block and bars (think coffee and pastries or wine later in the day). Georgio's apartment is clean comfortable and well decorated. The kitchen is simple but usable. There is a washing machine but no dryer. He does have a large drying rack which rendered things wearable overnight. Oh, by the way, Geogio was so generous, leaving snacks, cereal, milk and 4 eggs for us. We were exhausted when we got there and the snacks saved us from having to venture out first thing in the morning. Important caveat: if you are not sure of foot there are about 20 steep steps up to the apartment and the door to the apartment is on a triangular step that could be dangerous. There is a sturdy railing though. There was a lot of noise during the day reverberating in from the court yard but it was silent by bedtime. All in all if you are in Florence to see the sites you won't find a better location. Be sure to stroll down along the Arno river (10 minutes) and across one of the bridges. If you are strong enough climb the Piazzale Michelangelo. The view is breathtaking.
