Me and my wife and our 11 year old son had a fantastic 8 night stay at Francesco's excellent apartment. The great location made it an ideal base for exploring Florence and the surrounding areas. The apartment is steps away from all of the famous places in Florence. The Santa Maria Novella Train Station is also nearby and this made it easy for us to take day trips to Pisa and the Cinque Terre. The modern apartment had everything that we needed and it is very attractive, comfortable, clean, quiet, and secure. It was good to clean and dry our clothes using the modern laundry facilities in the building and we prepared some great meals in the apartment during our stay. In addition, there are small grocery stores and some good places to eat nearby. We did not personally meet Francesco but he is an Excellent host who provided a video and a wealth of other information to help us during our visit. Francesco answered all of our questions immediately and also provided helpful advice during our stay. We would definitely try to return to this apartment during any future visits and we Highly Recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay in Florence.
