Guido's apartment was charming! Exactly as advertised and in a fantastic location for exploring all of Florence. We loved being able to come home to our own place and not an impersonal hotel. Very clean (I'm a stickler when it comes to floors and his were spotless!) and the apartment had everything 2 people would need. We even made breakfast. Cozy. Adorable.

Pros: Great location, secure, clean, charming, comfortable bed, fantastic water pressure in shower, kitchen, WiFi, Air Conditioner (which was a Godsend as it was really hot when we were there!)

Just a few things you may want to be aware of:
- WiFi was bit spotty so if this is critical for extended work during your stay use one of the nearby free WiFi cafes. It worked well enough for us to search for things, though.
- There are no maps or guidebooks in the unit so make sure you bring your own map and sightseeing recommendations/directions
- It would be super helpful if there was an "instruction manual" for the apt with emergency numbers, location of the nearest grocery store, restaurant recommendations, etc.. For example, I did not know you needed to manually turn the gas valve to "Aperto" (Open) to light the stove! But Guido himself came by to show me, which was so sweet.
- The toilet works well, but you need to push it several times and be patient.
- Signori Lombard, who met us with the key is the sweetest man but he is very difficult to understand. He doesn't speak English, but I understand Italian and still had a hard time because, bless him, he's missing some teeth! Just be prepared and patient with him.
- You need to push the key in and hold it WHILE turning the door handle to get into the unit. We had no trouble with this, but could see how others might.

Overall, we loved this unit and it was our home for 5 days. We highly recommend going with Guido and staying here. He will take care of anything you need!
