Great place for all kinds of trips! Me and my friends spent a week in Florence in Francesca's apartment. The place is fantastic! We had everything we needed. The apartment is fully equipped and the location is perfect. It took us around 15-20 minutes to walk to Duomo and the city center. The city is beautiful, museums are full of great art (Uffizi Gallery is a must!), the weather is fine (usually more than 30 degrees) and the Italian food is delicious. Mercato Centrale and the restaurants around it are great to eat. We loved L'imperatore ristorante.
Francesca is a perfect and very helpful host. We were leaving in the middle of the night for our flight and there was no problem at all. She even helped us find transport to the airport in Pisa. All in all, this is the perfect place to stay in Florence ;)
