Giuliano met us exactly as arranged, and welcomed us with a bottle of Chianti and some local biscuits. The guide notes to the apartment were excellent, everything worked fine. The location is perfect, next to the beautiful Santa Croce.
6 of us stayed here, all close friends, which was good, as 2 of us slept in the communal area.
It is exquisitely furnished, some of the murals were painted by Giuliano's wife, Caterina. It is clearly a family home, and we felt immediately at home when we moved in.
Giuliano noticed that it was my birthday on the day we arrived, and as we left, he and Caterina gave me a birthday gift: most unexpected, and a very nice touch.
I would definitely return, and would recommend it to friends.
