Francesca is such a great host. We requested early check in and she was able to suit us. Once inside the apartment she would welcome you with heaps of information she had organised about Florence, I think her information is more informative than city's information centre. The apartment is very comfy and spacious, great value. The place had plenty of parking downstairs and the bus is frequent (10 minutes per bus) and gets to Florence station in 15-20 minutes. It's top floor so there's 4 level of stairs to climb but it meant the view is spacious.
