Don't stay anywhere else! Francesco's place is ideally located in the center of Florence. Just three blocks to see Michaelangelo's David, a 5 minute walk to the Duomo, 10 to the Uffizi, and 20 to Palazzo Pitti.
Francesco is the consummate host, going above and beyond our expectations. He checked in from time to time during the months leading up to our stay to make suggestions regarding tours, stocked the cupboards with coffee and other kitchen essentials, and his restaurant recommendations were spot on. His apartment was clean and updated, and the wifi was very fast, even with four smart phones, three iPads, and a kindle running on it. Best of all, he didn't even blink when we showed up with four adults and four children.
Do yourself a favor and stay here!
