The apartment is in the heart of the city, very spacious and has everything you need. Host met us at their company store WP, which is just of the block from the apartment. You can walk anywhere with no issues, plenty of good restaurants and shops near by. Although she offers free parking, getting to the parking garage is NOT easy. I would suggest parking at the airport or simply skip the car. You do not need it. Florence is a beautiful city and I would stay at Gaia & Pietro place again.
