I stayed at Francesco and Antonella's place in August of 2016 with my mother. Overall, we had a lovely stay! Due to some competing priorities, Francesco could not meet with us when we arrived and Antonella was out of town, but they gave us clear instructions on how we could get to their apartment and it was pretty much a breeze.

We also got the chance to meet Francesco's mother, a very sweet and kind lady, the next morning when she joined us for breakfast. She makes very good coffee which my mother and I really enjoyed. Although she doesn't speak much English, we were able to communicate just fine (thanks to Google translate).

They also gave us a helpful map of Florence and nice restaurant recommendations. During our stay, they were very accommodating but also gave us privacy.

The room was very spacious (I think this was the masters bedroom) and cozy. The private bathroom was just adjacent to the room. The bedroom, bathroom and living area were all very clean and well-organized during our stay.

We also liked the location of the apartment - few minutes by foot from Florence SMN station and close to several bus stops. There is also a minimart next to the building where you can buy water, snacks, etc.

Overall, I would recommend this place to those to who would want to stay in Florence!
