Francesca's apartment is a mini oasis in the middle of busy Florence. We were there for an extended stay with our small baby and found it to be a perfect choice. The apartment is comfortable with the homely feeling of a more traditional Florentine home (not Ikea mass produced). The layout means that the living area opens onto a beautiful jasmine filled terrace (overlooking other peoples terraces and balconies which is picturesque) which is free from traffic noise and dust. The bedroom has a window onto an inner light well, meaning it is dark and quiet for sleeping which was perfect for the baby. There are two nice bathrooms, a little garden room at the end of the terrace, and a fully working kitchen with a large fridge and dishwasher (rare in Italy)! Francesca responded promptly to our emails and Rosa handled the check in and cleaning, as well as quickly sorting some minor issues with electricity and hot water. The neighbourhood is perfect for living as a “local” and exploring the shops and markets, but still close to all of the sites.
We will definitely return.
