My daughter and I arrived in Florence and met Francesco at the apt at the agreed upon time. Francesco showed us the apt and answered our questions.
Once inside the apt yu climb a spiral staircase to get to the sleeping level and another set of stairs to reach his rooftop deck, which is a little gem in this busy city. The morning sun and evening sunsets with a view of the Duomo was great!
The apt is just a block from the Duomo and has restaurants, coffee bars, shops and multiple amenities on his street.
The apt is on the 3rd floor. You can climb the stairs or take the elevator, which ever you prefer. The windows were open and while you could hear some street noise, it was quiet for sleeping.
We walked all over Florence and found Francesco's apt to be in a great location, esp if you want to be close to the Duomo or in the central part of the city.
We recommend Francesco's apt.
