Francesco's apartment is very nice, clean, and quiet on the inside and definitely something I would like to see again. The interior was modern while still having the old charm of old Tuscany architecture.
The location within Florence was not so great, as there is heavy traffic and rather unaesthetic streets around; though my experience is that this is the case everywhere in the city, so I feel like this is just something one has to accept living here.
The inner city can be reached on foot but apart from our city tour, we didn't need to there. Restaurants, a bakery, an ice cream store, supermarkets, all can be found nearby and we were given a great list of recommendations that I can all approve of.
Parking spaces near the flat exist but can be difficult to find depending on the time of the day. After about 15 minutes of searching, we found a free spot about 700m away.
The only negative point that I want to mention, that can also be read about in other reviews, is the WiFi. Reception is not great and not at all available on the balcony. The speed suffices for most things, but watching a video stream for example would probably be out of the question considering the amount of interrupts we had.
