Francesco was an outstanding host. Organized, communicative, polite, and prepared. He takes great pride in both his apartment and in the city of Florence. The apartment is new and immaculate - and the elevator was a welcome relief after having lugged suitcases up and down several flights of stairs in our previous rental. The piece de resistance is the full and expansive view of the entire Duomo complex. Morning caffeine on the balcony with the bells ringing from the Campanile is an amazing experience. After a day of sightseeing - Follow that up with some vino in the evening with some music playing from the Bluetooth apartment speaker - under a full moon, and you'll know you booked one of the best locations in the entire city. Bellissimo!
