We only stayed for one night in Florence but staying at Francesca's place added to our experience. The apartment is beautiful. The book of suggestions kept us from wasting any time trying to figure out where to eat or what to do. The suggested "Don't Miss" visit to the restaurant at the top of the Medici Hotel was wonderful! We also had a wonderful dinner just around the corner at a suggested restaurant. Being able to store our luggage for the day was really helpful because our time was so short. I would highly recommend staying at Francesca's place!
