A peaceful oasis in the heart of busy Florence. Don’t even hesitate booking Francesco’s apartment - it is fabulous. I would even go so far as to say plan your trip around when this apartment is available. Spotlessly clean, brand new and modern, with beautiful furnishings — I felt like I was staying in a 5 star hotel. Francesco sent me detailed instructions on how to get to and access the apartment which made it super easy. He happened to be around with his cute family when I arrived, and gave me a tour of the apartment as well as suggestions on what to do, where to eat, and local grocery stores, etc. He even left a bottle of wine. The apartment overlooks the back of San Lorenzo Cathedral — I loved waking up to the church bells and drinking coffee with that view. The apartment is within walking distance of everything in Florence. It has all the amenities you need for cooking, washing clothes, hairdryer, etc. I would highly recommend Francesco’s apartment and hope I can return soon.
