***** 5 Stars all around! You will LOVE the location, the host, the apartment and how Francesco's place makes you feel. Francesco communicates timely, makes the whole check-in and out process easy and will help you in every way. We stayed in a 4 Star hotel in Rome days before we arrived in Florence and Francesco's place by far beats the hotel in every way including the fresh towels, the coffee station, the bright and spacious apartment, the location and value. The location is so central to everything including the main train station, stores, museums and restaurants. At the same time, the apartment is quiet and the views are incredible. The apartment is historic yet inside, it is updated, clean and modern. You will have plenty of towels and toiletries. My only regret is leaving the place, and I hope to return some day.
