This was a great place to stay. We loved the location on the other side of the river...lots of little shops and restaurants and an easy walk to the major sites. The apt was really big and spacious with a very well equipped kitchen ...it even had a dishwasher! I had to do a little looking on the Internet about how to set the washer and dishwasher but we were happy to have them! I should note that guests are unable to control the temperature in the apt. We were cold but Francesco was very responsive to our concerns- turning up the heat and providing more blankets which we appreciated! The beds were ok but missing the "cozy" factor for me. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place when visiting Florence!!
