Why Janine Dickinson chose San Giovanni
My dear friend Josie & I bought this apartment in 2000 because we fell in love with Florence over many years & finally realised our dream to live a Florentine life. Over this time we have been thrilled to share the feeling of being a Florentine with our guests, who come back time & again. Some of our guests come every year & many truly feel it is theirs too.
What makes this apartment unique
Some of the things I love most about the apartment are: the sense of belonging - when the tourists go home at night the city is yours. I love being able to put my head out the bedroom window, look to the right & see Cosimo de Medici on his great charger, in Piazza della Signoria. I love Daniela's glorious fruit shop right at our door.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Dear Jan,
We are back home after spending two wonderful weeks in your apartment. We had a great time in Florence. Thank you for all the useful information you provided to make our holiday so memorable.
We did so much in those two weeks. We went to the markets at Scandicci and met an Irish girl who owned the bottle shop. Had an interesting cooking class with Francesca that started at 9 am at the markets and finished at 5 pm.....very full and satisfied with the delicious meal we cooked and shared with her. Lots of eating in wonderful restaurants and our daily coffee and breakfast/lunch at ChiaroScuro in the Corso.
All in all a wonderful trip.
Thank you for providing our accommodation it was just what we wanted.
Hope to stay there again if ever we return to Florence.

Medieval Apartment
We really enjoyed our 6 night stay in this apartment. The apartment is large ( especially for just 2 people) and very well equipped. It was great that there were many pantry items in the kitchen, including numerous kinds of tea. The apartment had everything we needed for our stay. The location is absolutely perfect with many tourist sights very close by and restaurants, shops, grocery stores and gelato nearby. Jan provided lots of tips on places to visit and I only wish that we had more time to visit the less touristy places. It was nice to have a local person (Paolo) greet us on our arrival and explain where things were and how they worked. Rosemary checked in with us a couple times and that was helpful. While the apartment has good windows and shutters, I did still hear some noise from the bar that is across the street. I am a light sleeper but my boyfriend, who takes Tylenol pm, never heard any noise. Overall, we had a wonderful stay at the apartment in Florence.
Great flat. Central location perfect check in and welcome comfortable space all amenities on hand
Easter weekend in Florence
Great value for money
Location perfect!
Flat is fantastic
A few points
1. It is in middle of very busy city
Not quiet neighborhood
I know Florence is a wine city
But beer pub in front of flat is top notch if you like great craft beer
Highly recommended
Lovely!
Lovely apartment in a great location. We walked everywhere and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you!
beautiful appointed large apartment in great locat
A pleasure dealing with Janine for the booking and we were grateful for all her suggestions of things to do places to eat etc. It felt we had stepped back in time in this gracious and spacious apartment in the heart of Florence with all the modern conveniences.Beautifully decorated and SO elegant.Could not imagine staying anywhere else in Florence, so close to everything and we loved waking up to the street noises but able to shut out the sounds with the large shutters if quiet required. We enjoyed having a living room dining room den and roomy bedroom. It was indeed a treat and a privilege to stay in this luxury apartment and truly experience Florence
A Perfectly located Jewel right in the heart of Florence!
We just got back from our long vacation and the out of all the places we stayed at, this apartment was simply the best! Jan, who is the owner, made us feel so welcome from the start of the booking process. She made sure to have the whole apartment ready for us when we arrived. Before our arrival, she sent us very valuable information about the town, best places to eat, transportation, things that normally you would have to ask or look up yourself upon arrival. We cannot say enough about how gorgeous the apartment is itself. It was always a delight to return to it after a long day of sightseeing. We loved how close everything was to us, right outside of us was a wonderful fruit and vegetable stand then right around the corner was a supermarket, and just a block down the street was the Uffizi Gallery. If we come back to Florence, we will always stay at this apartment! Thank you Jan so much for opening up your beautiful home to all of us and for such an unforgettable time!
Location, locaton, location. What at great place and thoughtful owner. Janice wants you to love it.
Took a cab from train station per owner and was there in 10 minutes. Do this don't walk, way to confusing if you have never visited. Rang bell and Paulo ( I hope that is the right name) met us. He didn't speak much English, but with the little English he spoke and the little Italian I know we where able to communicate and he was able to show me everything and how it worked. He was refreshingly thorough and remembered everything to show us. Place is great, kitchen well stocked for cooking. Place is really big and has good windows so remains quiet even though there is a lot of street noise below. Bathroom is a little small but was no problem. Place is a little dark but it kind of ads to the charm. The location is unbelievable, go one way out the door and you are the Ufuzzi in less than 3 minutes, go the other direction and you hit the Duomo in 3 minutes. Great restaurants all over, markets just outside the door, I can't think of a better location. Owner is very attentive to anything you need before you arrive and is easy to contact ahead of time. I highly recommend this rental. You can not beat the value or location.
