We stayed 3 nights in Francesco’s apartment and it was fantastic! Francesco was very responsive and speaks great English, and the apartment is clean, stylish, well equipped, comfortable, and extremely well located. We appreciated the extras, like house slippers, fruit and snacks and the jacuzzi tub to soak my aching legs after a long day walking all over the city. Grab some takeout and wine from the food stalls at Marcato Centrale (about a 3 min walk and on Lonely Planet’s top 10 places to visit in Firenze list) and watch the sun set over the city from your own private rooftop terrace! That view is not to be missed and best served with some local vino!
Of note, the laundry was broken during our stay. Francesco apologized and offered to pay our laundromat fees, but we didn’t want to take the time out for that during our quick visit.
