Francesca is a super super host. Her place exceeded our expectations and the pictures don't convey how beautiful her home is in person. Oltrarno location was perfect for us; Francesca had many personal touches and put so much thought into all her sightseeing tips and restaurant suggestions. We felt like we were living as Florentines. We took much of her advice and it was all fantastic. Another nice touch was being able to leave our luggage in a locked storage room on the last day of our stay after we checked out. If you have the time, take Francesca up on her offer to visit her family winery for a tour. It's a short ride by train and she will pick you up from train station. So glad we did this- in addition to the personal tour, wine tasting, amazing spread of delicious snacks she put out for us - what was so special was enjoying conversation and getting to know her and her husband Daniele, who operates the winery. Such Italian hospitality! What else can we say - we hope we can return and stay here again in future!
