I can't say enough about this place. Giacomo and his friend met us at check in and were incredibly welcoming and gracious from the start. We were greeted with a bottle of wine, biscotti and bottled water in the fridge. The apartment itself is beautiful and unique, with two bathrooms and a cool loft area above the living room that our 3 y/o son was obsessed with. Location is excellent, giving an excellent base to explore small, walk-able Florence. Giacomo even met us at check out and offered to call a cab to take us to the train station. Like most of these old buildings, there are quite a few stairs so be prepared for that. We would love to stay again next time we are in Florence.
