Giovanni's flat is in an excellent location: everything you might want to see in Florence is within walking distance. It is a very individual place, on an upper floor of a 17th century building; it has been quirkily decorated, with an eclectic selection of pictures, artefacts, furniture and books that makes one feel at home very quickly. The room we were in had frescoes on the ceiling. The bed was comfortable and well heated/ventilated. There was a little street noise during the night, but nothing bad. Giovanni was an excellent host, friendly and accommodating. He provided a useful list/map of places to eat and see. He speaks good English and communicated promptly and effectively.
