Francesca’s place is fantastico!! It is in an ideal central location very close to Pitti Palace & Ponte Vecchio. There is also a grocery store near the Ponte Vecchio where you can stock up on anything you need. Because the apartment is on a narrow street with no businesses, you will rarely see any car traffic and all the windows in the apartment face and interior courtyard so you will not hear any noise whatsoever. The only noise you will hear are church bells that start ringing at 8am (which adds to the charm that you are in Firenze!) so you will have a quiet night sleep. The bed is very comfortable. The kitchen is great and the bathroom is as well. Communication with Francesca is excellent. She also has a convenient and huge luggage storage which we used after check out. Check in and check out was super easy! Highly recommend Francesca’s place. Loved it!
