Mary and Gio's apartment is in the perfect location to see Firenze on foot due to its central position. Their apartment is airy, spacious, beautifully appointed with amazing views of the Duomo from your private balcony. There's a lovely and melodic church bell ringing nearby enhancing the European experience. The place is clean and contains many amenities. Gio left us a map which he highlighted with favorite locations. They were quick to respond to questions and made check in super easy. Gio even carried our bags up and offered to carry them back down at check out. He also ordered our taxi ahead of time for departure. It's this attention to detail that made our visit run so smoothly. I cannot recommend this spot and these hosts highly enough. One note: there are stairs to get to the apartment - 68, in fact. However, they helped work off all those cannolis we ate! Besides, it's Italy - there are always stairs! It's a warm up for the climb up the Duomo!
