Francesca’s apartment is the perfect spot for exploring Florence. It’s close enough to walk to the Centro and all the major sights (Duomo, Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, etc.) but also tucked away from the massive crowds. It’s just a few steps from the neighborhoods of Sant’Ambrogio and Santa Croce which are very fun and worth exploring, including great restaurants and the Sant’Ambrogio Food Market. You don’t need a car in Florence but if you happen to have one there is a great private parking space that was very useful (you can pay for an hour at the garage around the corner in order to enter the ZTL without fines, but then park in the driveway of the apartment). Francesca is a wonderful and delightful host and made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable. Many of the amenities made it feel more like a luxury hotel, like laundry service and linen service, and Francesca was so nice and responsive to our every need. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
