Francesco's apartment was exactly as described - bright, spacious, modern, and exactly what we needed for our weekend. We would very happily stay there again should we ever return to Florence, the location of the flat was also pretty perfect, close to some lovely bars/restaurants and many of the central sights. Even though we shared a common space with other guest this was not an inconvenience in any way. As for Francesco himself, he could not have been nicer / more helpful; on check-in he told us everything we needed to know regarding the flat, and gave us some great hints on what to see/do and where to eat/drink (his recommendations were all great). He was very flexible and even went to the extra effort of booking us a taxi for our ride to the airport - all in all, a great host :-)
