My boyfriend and I had a lovely stay at Francesco’s place on the South side of the Arno for our first trip to Florence. Francesco met up with us at check in and walked us through the apartment, explaining how to use everything (WiFi, AC, etc) and everything in the apartment was in good working order. The AC was quite strong— stronger than every other AirBnB we experienced afterward in Florence— and the neighborhood was extremely quiet and safe since the place is on a dead end street. Highly recommended!
