We found ourselves in the heart of Florence at Francesco's apartment and not far from the main attractions we were interested in, such as the Uffizi and the Accademia. We were met by Francesco's mother who made us feel very welcome.

The apartment is large and airy, with two large sitting rooms, a kitchen and two large bedrooms. The master bedroom has a large private bathroom with a tub. The second bedroom was located on the other end of the apartment. The second large bathroom was located off the hall and had a shower. Perfect for two couples and perhaps a single individual who could sleep on a cot in one of the sitting rooms.

The apartment was clean and the beds were comfortable. There was some noise on the street side of the apartment, but nothing that an Italian grandmother couldn't bring to an end.

We were referred to an excellent restaurant just a block away. Ask the host.We enjoyed our stay and would return.
