Francesca is a really kind host, very thoughtful, and a good communicator. We enjoyed staying in a historic area with many trattorias and a good grocery store nearby. The street can be loud, but we brought our earplugs! We visited Florence during a heatwave, so closing all the windows/shades during the day, and leaving them all open at night let a cool breeze flow through the apartment. All the sights are within walking distance.
