Many thanks to Francesca for being such a wonderful host. Communication was easy, the apartment was exceptionally clean and was exactly as described- although it is much more spacious than it appears in the photos. My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our parents- and the apartment was perfect for a group of 4 adults as there is plenty of space, with the kitchen providing an extra living space. The location is also amazing and everything is very walkable- we really enjoyed that while it was very central and close to the ponte vecchio, the felt very genuine and not too touristy.
Can't recommend enough!
