We were overwhelmed at how beautiful, stylish and clean Francesca's apartment was - even better than the photos. Francesca was happy to welcome us quite late on a Sunday evening and helped us check which local restaurants would still be open for dinner. Located in a very smart area of Florence with parks, markets and lovely cafes close by, it felt as though we were experiencing the city from a local's point of view as well as being within walking distance of all the main tourist attractions. We looked forward to coming back to the well equipped apartment after a busy day's sightseeing especially to sit in the peaceful courtyard and say hello to the friendly cats. Francesca kindly offered to arrange a taxi to pick us up from the apartment on the day we left and came to say goodbye to us. We found our stay so comfortable and relaxing and very much part of our happy memories of Florence.
