My husband and I were in Florence for one week to attend a wedding and we had the most amazing time. ❤️
We chose Francesco’s apartment as we love the San Frediano area - the real Florence away from the tourists. Francesco’s apartment was amazingly spacious and had everything we could want. The bedroom was so lovely and comfortable with crisp cotton sheets. Two large shuttered windows with no-one overlooking you. Lovely furniture, nice wardrobe with sufficient hangers and dresser. I noticed there wasn’t a mirror in the bedroom and Francesco immediately bought one and brought a floor length mirror round next day. ❤️
Only downside ..... quite steep steps leading into apartment and a lot of steps in apartment - so if you have an issue with steps not for you. For us was not an issue as it kept us fit ❤️
The kitchen was perfect and well equipped .... there were steps from the kitchen to a small terrace outside and most mornings we had our coffee out there. What we loved about the apartment was the light flooding in everywhere ..... and the coolness of the apartment ...... we didn’t need to use the air conditioning. We used to love coming back to the apartment after a day sightseeing to relax in the clam and tranquility of the apartment - it was a little oasis in the heart of Florence. No noisy neighbours and no noisy traffic. ❤️
The bathroom was long and narrow with one small window ..... it was quaint and again so cool and fresh. We had a slight issue with the shower but Francesco sorted immediately and came same day with a plumber to fix. It worked well after that and was a great shower. Good hot water flow as well. ❤️
WIFI was top notch - powerful and fast. The best we have ever had in Florence. ❤️
Communication with Francesco was great right from the start - check-in was smooth and efficient with the lovely Eleonora. We had the pleasure of meeting Francesco (who by the way is the owner of the apartment and it is not a corporate let ) Francesco is a very polite professional young man who cares about his tenants and apartment. Eleonora, who checked us in, was also very professional and attentive throughout our stay. Both Francesco and Eleonora speak perfect English. ❤️
The San Frediano area is a cool place to stay with great neighbourhood trattorias and coffee shops. Great character and fhe locals are very friendly and helpful - this is the real Florence ❤️ BOOK 🥰
