We had a fantastic stay at Francesca's place! And we plan on coming back next year. The location is unbeatable, right in the center of Florence where all the action takes place. The apartment is very comfortable and equipped with everything you need. The stairs are not many and were never an issue, after a couple of times you don't even notice and I loved a little exercise a few times a day since you won't be on a diet in Florence. The place is charming! You will be staying in an old but very stable Florentine building with thick walls, quite an experience. It is also very quiet since you are on the 5th floor, despite being right in the old town. To top it off, Francesca is a very attentive and responsive host who genuinely cares about your experience and comfort. We will be back!
