Cannot recommend this place enough. Absolutely ideal location right in the middle of the city. The home is updated and yet retains its charm and style, almost making you feel like you're staying in a Florentine palace. Francesca is also a great host -- knowledgeable about the city, attentive to guests, and quick to respond. My only alert to guests is that it can be somewhat noisy outside the windows early in the morning when the city collects garbage from the alleyway. However, this is at no fault of the owner, and is to be expected when staying in the city! That's why I still give this place 5 stars and highly recommend for anyone visiting Florence.
