Franchesca is a lovely person and has done a fab job with her room. It's like a small apartment in itself and has most things you'd need for cooking basic meals, obviously bring your own ingredients. The bathroom is a separate room, the kitchen is in it's own space and there is air-conditioning! A must have in the Florence summer heat. It's situated in a quieter part of Florence but the 23 bus runs from the main train station, through the main tourist area, to a stop within a minutes walk from Franchesca's place. The bus stop to go back into town is even closer and it only takes 15 - 20 mins on the bus. This makes it so simple to commute between this lovely flat and the main sights of Florence while allowing one some quiet peace after a bustling day of tourism (or whatever else has brought you to Florence). I'd stay here again if chance ever brought me to Florence again and I can highly recommend it to anyone else too.
