Francesca was a wonderful host! Her place is as close as it gets to central Florence and the Piazza della Santissima Annunziata is charming and even had a international farmer's market type event going on during our stay. It was clean, cozy and super charming. Literally a 10 minute or less walk to the Duomo and maybe a 1.5km to the Arno river, you can pretty much walk anywhere you want from here. Francesca has many great suggestions for food to eat , sights to see and gelato to have for a treat all over Florence. Take advantage of them, we did and really enjoyed Gusta Pizza, Za Za for bistecca and Vivoli for gelato.
