We stayed in late June 2018. Family of 3 (2 adults, 1 child age 6). Francesco's father was extremely kind and welcoming. We loved our stay, and it exceeded our expectations. Very tastefully decorated, and Francesco was a superb host. All the reviews were very correct about this place. We highly recommend. We stayed at the St. Regis Florence (5 star along the river) prior to checking in to Francesco's apt, and hands down Francesco's was better. More spacious, more light, more centrally located in the heart of the popular sights (Duomo, Market central, San Lorenzo), and yet quiet. So convenient, with restaurants all near by, and a grocery store was just 2 blocks away. We are now looking at modifying our remaining trip to stay at his place before we leave the Toscana/Firenze area. We truly loved the experience.
