This is a gem of a rental. Great location, great host, great flat. and hard to imagine a more expansive view of the Duomo. Three good sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, separate kitchen and large living area means a comfortable stay. We had 3 adults and 3 children, the flat could easily serve 6 adults. The place is recently renovated and stylishly designed. It is a block from the Duomo, 5 mins walk to uffizi, but on the pedestrian side of the Duomo meaning no street noise or traffic. Perfect location. Francesco is the consummate host. Great local advice from this local for gelati olive oil tasting, wine tasting, and loca restaurants. He is very attentive, responsive and considerate. We had issues with electricity shutting off during our stay (dangerous given the cold weather) and he came running, literally he showed up sweating!, to fix it. It was uncharactereically cold in Florence and the heater were working overtime to get the apartment to warm the apartment. Apparently the heaters in apartment were overwhelming the circuits in this ancient building so we had to be careful using the heat and hot water at the same time. Issues do arise even at the best of rentals. Rest assuted knowing you have someone like Francesco who will make things right. Overall, a great stay and a great place.
