This place is absolutely fantastic! It looks just like the photos and the listing describes the place correctly. Walking in the door, the place was super clean and it smelled really nice which was a pleasant surprise. The apartment feels just like a small boutique hotel room. The amenities were top notch facial and body products. There was even a bottle of lovely wine awaiting my arrival which I thought was a really nice touch. Giancarmine was extremely attentive and helpful in many ways. The communication was great. He even arranged our taxi reservations to the airport since we don't speak Italian. The apartment is located less than 2 mins walk to the Duomo. This is place is in the city center so noise is expected even in the wee hours of the morning. It's probably easier to get a quiet rest during the day as oppose to the nights as there are several bars nearby and the voices of the patrons carries loudly throughout the night. If you need a quiet place to rest at night, then this may not be the place for you. But if you don't mind the noise of being in the city center, then Giancarmine's place is perfect! You couldn't ask for a better host or place to stay in Florence.
