We stayed about 1 1/2 weeks at Francesca's apartment. The first thing we noticed was the beautiful furnishings. Second thing was how she thought of everything we might need, even with backup supplies if we ran out. The instructions were thorough and told us everything we needed to know about the apartment and the surroundings. It was spacious for the 2 of us and convenient to walk everywhere - even to Piazza Michelangelo! The duomo was just down the street and everything surrounding it. The street was a straight shot down to the Ponte Vecchio, and at the end of the block was Palazzo Medicci. We finally tried the bistro across the street for a glass of wine and wish we would have gone earlier - live music every night. We felt taken care of in every way - and highly recommend this apartment if it is available!
