Francesca was an awesome host! We took a cab straight from the Florence train station which took about 5-10 minutes and were dropped off right at the front door. We rang her buzzer and she came down to meet us, then showed us around the place. She had restaurant recommendations, and has a cool map on the wall with different pins on where to go/what to do, with business cards. A very nice thing to have when new to a city. She also lives right across the hall, so if you had any issues or questions, she was right there.

The location of the house could not be more perfect. It's down a quiet alley way, but still right in the central area of town. A few minutes walk to the Duomo, The David, Uffizi, Arno River. I was able to walk anywhere I wanted in Florence from here. It was great! We even decided to walk back to the train station when we left, which was probably 15-20 minutes total.

The place itself is actually pretty big, I stayed here with my GF and had plenty of room. Nice couch, cool stairs leading up to the loft, big bed. Bathroom was super cool and modern feeling. Everything worked as should.

Would definitely come back!
