Francesca’s place is wonderful and Francesca is a wonderful host. If you are planing a trip to Florence and want more of the “real” Florence in the Oltrarno, look no further than Francesca’s. The location is fantastic, blocks from the Arno, Ponte Vecchio and Pitti Palace. The apartment itself is extremely nice, with wonderful amenities and expert directions from Francesca inside. Check in and check out could not have been easier. Seriously, this is a gem. Don’t miss it.
