Francesco was amazing. He was so good when our flight was cancelled and we had to reschedule our stay for a couple of days later. He met us at the station and after suggesting we bought some supplies from a shop, drove us to the apartment. The apartment is large, light and comfortable. It took us about 20 minutes to walk to the centre, along the Arno, which we loved. So good to have use of a washing machine as we were there for 3 weeks ( Florence's launderettes are very expensive!) The roof terrace is a great place to chill, with great views of Florence. Francesco answered any messages we sent him quickly. We escaped the heat of Florence and would suggest visiting La Certosa in Galluzzo and Fiesole, both by bus, and Borgo San Lorenzo by train. We went to Vallembrosa (we hired a car and then found out we could have gone by bus!) a lovely area 1000 meters above sea level and had a free guided tour (in Italian) of the arboretum. We ate at a vegetarian restaurant called L'OV in the Piazza near the Brancacci Capelli, and the food was amazing. Look out for deals for aperitivo. Can't wait to visit the beautiful city again. Thanks Francesco
