Francesco was a great host! He was easy to contact, before we arrived and during our time there. We got in early, but he was ready and let us leave our luggage there. He gave recommendations in the neighborhood, but it was also nice roaming the area. It is a good location, a short walk to the Arno as well as to the center. It was very easy to find from the train station. It was also nice that there was an elevator in the building-really helped when we arrived! The rooms were clean and well equipped. When we had trouble with a washer, Francesco called us back and made himself available. We even forgot something in the room and he had it mailed to us. All in all, a great visit in Firenze-thank you Francesco!
