What a perfect place to stay for our week in Florence. Francesco's apartment is Oltrarno, and in a neighborhood that's off the beaten tourist path. This means it's a bit of a distance from the hustle and bustle of downtown. The perfect solution was for us to rent the fun city-bikes that Francesco provided. We loved waking up every morning, having our caffe in the nearby bar, and then hopping on the bikes for our adventures. The apartment itself is perfect for two people -- small, but well appointed and with a comfy bed. Francesco is the IDEAL host. He was right there to meet us when we arrived from the airport, and he responded to our inquiries immediately every time we had a question. GRAZIE MILLE, Francesco!
