Francesco was a wonderful host. We drove into Florence and there were a few streets closed for a street fair which made it impossible to get to his apartment. We called him and he told us where to park and he walked over and escorted us to his place. If you do drive, there is a parking garage a few doors down from his building, which was so convenient. We didn't drive while we were in Florence, there was no need since everything was so close and we could walk everywhere. The apartment was just as it appears in the pictures. Third floor apartment with a lift, but we took the stairs for the exercise! Very comfortable sitting area, large bathroom with lots of towels, kitchen with all the necessities plus he left us fruit and pastry, water and juice. We didn't cook while we were there but it was nice to have the fridge for yogurt and fruit for breakfast. Great markets, restaurants and of course gelato nearby. The air conditioning worked great as did the WIFI. The apartment was quiet and very comfortable. He texted us a few times while we there to check that all was going well and that we didn't need anything. The apartment is centrally located and an easy walk to all of the sights, we had a great time in Florence. Thank you Francesco and Airbnb.
