This was really a very wonderful place to stay, and we feel so fortunate to have found such a perfect apartment!
Francesco’s lovely space is very well located. It’s in the middle of a lively part of the city, but the apartment itself is quiet. Truly, the best of both worlds! We enjoyed our coffee on the great terrace in the morning, and loved hearing the church bells from the Medici Chapel (which is quite literally a stone’s throw away).
Francesco and his father have done a fantastic job remodeling the space. As I told him, they have preserved the architectural and cultural integrity of the space, while making it very comfortable and functional. The beds and pillows were very good, the shower was hot and strong, and the air conditioners worked well. The living room had chairs that faced out onto the Chapel and the Medici Library, and I really could have spent hours admiring the buildings.
The apartment has nice touches, such a Lavazza coffee maker, a washer, and very nice art.
As much as anything else, Francesco was warm, knowledgeable, and gracious. His suggestions were perfect for us, and we would gladly stay there again.
