A most lovely apartment and hostess. The center of Florence is just a 10 minute walk away. The apartment is elegant and spotless -- the photos do not do it justice. Francesca clearly deserved the "super host" designation. She generously shares her knowledge of Florence with you. Together we were able to arrange a night out with her son, his friends, and my daughters. Francesca even came by to pick up the girls. Her son is every bit as kind as she is -- an Italian gentleman attentive to the needs of a couple of American girls. It made our stay even more personalized. If your travels take you to Florence, this is the place to stay!
