location: An absolute gem! perfect place to escape the bustle of tourists in Florence, but still in walking distance to all the major sights, Duomo and Piazza Della Repubblica (15-20 mins) Oltrarno (20-30mins walk), the furthest place we walked to was Piazzale Michaelangelo, 45mins walk for stellar views of the city.

driving& parking: We rented a car for 2 days and there was plenty of parking at the doorstep or neighbouring roads. Easy to navigate around those pesky ZTLs.
Francesca; was prompt to reply by WhatsApp. We asked to check in earlier at 13:00, 2 days before check in, and she gladly accommodated us.
house:
like walking into a Vogue homes magazine. beautifully decorated with pieces everywhere you look, yet still homey. A/Cs in the living area and master bedroom. 2 toilets, and only 1 had a shower so no need to queue to get ready in the morning. fully stocked kitchen and laundry.
lots of cutie pets in the garden and Francesca's cats often laze in it. don't worry if you have allergies to cats (my husband does) the cats don't come into the house. Though 1 of them seems to have a favourite spot to sleep on the garden chair just outside the house.
