Francesca's apartment is a real Tuscan gem, with steps of pietra serena, a charming vintage oven, and a royal bathroom. It is situated in an old building but carefully staged to ensure the utmost comfort of the guests. It is sparkling clean and it has those million things which make the difference between a house and a home: a lot of hangers, a fast and reliable internet, coffee, ness and cappuccino, 3 types of salt, vinegar, even Italian pasta. To drink the coffee on the rooftop terrace at the sunrise, contemplating the first rays of sun caressing the Dome and listening to the bells of the Palazzo Vecchio and Bargello is my very definition of a perfect morning and it will last forever in my memory. The apartment is literally at 5 minutes walk of everything important in Florence and has a well-furnished grocery store nearby as well. Francesca provided us all the explanations we needed and was a very nice and thoughtful host. In a nutshell, this is the perfect place to stay in Florence and I highly recommend it.
