The apartment was just like we expected. The location is perfect: less than 10 minutes walk from the train station and from all the sights, lots of places to eat and the market right across the street. Gabriele welcomed us when we arrived and he even helped carry up my friend's suitcase, thank you again. The communication with Gabriele was good, he is proactive, reactive and very nice. The beds were good, the shower had good pressure, the heating in the bedrooms was very efficient. The bathroom being quite big, it can get a bit chilly, but there is a heater on a timer, which works fine. The floors were a little cold, which is normal for November, but we had slippers, so that was no bother. All in all, we liked our 5 night stay at Gabriele's apartment very much. The only thing you should be aware of, are the windows, if that is important to you: the first bedroom is nice and bright, but it has a roof window, the second bedroom has a large window with a balcony, the bathroom also has a large window. All of these can be opened, but there is a restaurant nearby, so there can be cooking smells coming up. The kitchen/entrance/sitting area does not have a window, but we had read this in other comments and expected it. As we were only in the apartment when it was dark, it didn't matter to us. I also want to give my heartfelt thanks to the previous guest who left the Rick Steves travel guidebook for Florence: I had bought the wrong guidebook, so I ended up using this one and found out it also has an app with very good (and free!) audioguides for several museums in Florence. :) We would happily stay here again and recommend the apartment.
