Staying with Francesca has restored my faith in AirBNB. She is a great host, hospitable and quick in communication. Her place is great; it’s small but stylish, close to all the major attractions (if you don’t mind a short walk) and after a day strolling in Florence it feels like you are in the Tuscan country side. It’s in a slightly residential neighbourhood so it’s not littered with restaurants but for us that wasn’t the problem. I would definitely recommend staying here if you have the spend a few days in Florence!
