I had a great time at Francesco's; the room was bright, clean and spacious. The apartment had good amenities (kitchen, bathroom, etc.) which made the stay comfortable. It's in walking distance of virtually everything you'd want to see in Florence, but not in a noisy neighbourhood (even though it's on a main road, the room is facing the opposite direction). Nice views of the garden as well. However, I was left waiting on the street for close to an hour before I checked in as an incomplete address was given to me (no street number), and Francesco did not answer any of my calls or texts. I eventually got on into contact with her son, who told me where to go. An unpleasant start to an otherwise smooth stay. Also, there was a huge language barrier, so to all English speakers on here, keep that in mind. However, it's all part of the experience. Thank you!
