Francesco's apartment is a dream! In a historic building but renovated beautifully. Only one flight up, and soon there should be an elevator as well. The view of the church is fantastic, and there's even an outdoor patio in case you want to relax out there and have a glass of wine. Very quiet except the occasional church bell (which I consider a plus). Everything is incredibly clean, comfortable, and homey with all of your needs anticipated. Great shower. The second bedroom with the twin bed is through the master bedroom, so a good option for families or close friends who don't need maximum privacy. Francesco and his family were very caring and easy to work with. The neighborhood is ideal - close to the train station, the Duomo, and Mercato Centrale, which is a fun place for foodies to check out. I only wish we had more time in Florence to enjoy it! We hope to stay with Francesco again.
