Casa Frank is a wonderful hideaway in Florence. The neighborhood where Via Giovanni Lanza is located is fantastic, with many restaurants and shops that aren't flooded by tourists. It's a quick 20 walk to the center of Florence and only a 4 minute walk to the Arno where one can grab a bite and/or drink or sit in a pretty park nearby. The parking spot Anna's place provides is amazing (for a small car). Anna was incredibly responsive and all the little touches she had in her home to make you feel welcome were over the top. The garden in the back is full of sweet smelling jasmine and our 6 year old son was so happy to have found a huge basket of toys to at his disposal.
