Francesca's place is among our favorites of all the airbnb accommodations we have been in. The location in Oltrarno is fantastic! It is close to two bridges and an easy and quick walk to the other side where the majority of the attractions are located. It is even a reasonable walk from the train station. In our opinion, most of the best restaurants, cafes, enotecas and bars are in Oltrarno.
Francesca is a fantastic hostess; she is highly organized and punctual in her communication. She provided us with maps, tourist information, recommendations for restaurants, neighborhood information and even had a bottle of wine to welcome us!
The apartment is better than in the photos! It's spacious (very ample for 4 people), comfortable and cozy. The kitchen exceeded all our expectations...just beautiful and extremely well equipped. There is one potential con. You must walk up 43 steps to reach the apartment. For guests with any physical ailments, this apartment might not be an option. For those in good shape, the climb is well worth it!
