My wife and I stayed at this apartment for 6 enjoyable days. The host, Francesca, is wonderful. She lives in the same building and is very easily accessible. She really made us feel at home at one of her apartments. The apartment is spacious and knit. It is not our first stay in Florence and we like the neighborhood near Accademia ans Piazza San Marco. As the building is right across from a rather narrow street from the entrance to Accademia for those concerned about noise I'd suggest inquiring about apartments facing the back of the building with Francesca. A rare and very helpful thing in an old building like this in Florence was the lift. All in all it was a great stay for us and we would recommend Francesca to friends and family without hesitation. Ciao, Francesca and thank you very much for your hospitality.
