We were met on time at the door by Francesco's sister, who showed us the apartment and was very welcoming - she gave us a useful book on Florence. Everything in the apartment worked very ell, it was warm, showers very good, and kitchen very well equipped. The area was very good for the station, the central market close to the river and easy to walk to all the sites. the local streets had excellent restaurants and there was a farmers market in the square. there were 6 of us and it was very comfortable.
