My husband and I recently stayed 6 weeks in Francesco's apartment. On our arrival, we were warmly, yet professionally, greeted and introduced to the workings of the apartment. The place is large, lovely, very clean and so pleasantly decorated. The bed is very comfortable and the linens in both the bedroom and bath are of high quality. The terrace is a treat - in May it was so nice to view the gardens below and see the many flowers and trees blooming. There was a flute player in a distant building who provided lovely music many days (not loud, not annoying). The apartment is completely quiet when all doors and windows are closed. It's even quiet most of the time when doors are open because it is off the main traffic, making it a perfect location. We really enjoyed the kitchen. We bought food at the Mercato Centrale and made some great dinners to eat out on the terrace. All of Florence is a very easy walk from the apartment. I highly recommend this place - you will definitely enjoy it. Mille grazie Francesco!
