Francesca's place was the perfect choice for our group of four. We rented her apartment in Florence for a week and I can't say enough good about it! The apartment was spacious and newly renovated. It was well equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was very clean. The location was great as we were away from the crowded tourist areas and yet just a 15 to 20 minute walk to everything we wanted to see. We were a group of four women and felt very safe in her neighbourhood. The apartment was close to some very good local markets, coffee shops, restaurants, and of course, a great gelato place!!

Although Francesca could not meet us when we arrived, her son came to greet us and show us around the apartment. Francesca was always available by phone and was extremely helpful with any thing we needed. She was a great host and even arranged for a taxi to meet us on the day we left.

I highly recommend her place if you want to be close to all the sites in Florence and yet also have the experience of living like a local.
