Our stay at Francesca's place was wonderful! The apartment is relatively central, and most tourist destinations are a 10-15 minute walk away. The place was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the balcony with a view of the Duome was a great asset relative to the price. Keep in mind the staircase to the bedroom is narrow and steep but that was not a problem for us. I would recommend anyone coming to Florence to stay with Francesca!
