We had a wonderful time in Florence, no small part of this was because we had a wonderful apartment to stay in. Our host Giuliano welcomed us (family of 4) with a bottle of Chianti and fresh fruits on our first day in Florence.
The apartment is spacious with comfortable bedrooms and a well-equipped kitchen. It is also very centrally located (less than ten minutes walk to the Duomo) and yet close to the local market for fresh produce and morning coffees. It felt like home away from home, although more accurately it was like staying in a very good friend's house. We will be back to stay there again.
