Location, location, location. Francesco’s place is right in the center of all the local action and hip neighborhood, just a 45 second walk from an awesome coffee and breakfast place, as well as the best gelato in town, and it’s easily assessable by train or bus.
We arrived late into Florence because our flight was delayed, and Francesco was very accommodating to our late arrival, meeting us after 9pm. I used to live in Florence, and I thought I knew everything about the city, Francesco showed even me of some great places we should visit and reminded me of places I forgot. Right when you arrive, he shows you on a map some of the best museums and places to go for the most beautiful views in Florence (and restaurants, too!).
In short, it was very delightful experience that my wife and I would repeat. Thank you so much Francesco for allowing us to stay at your place! Grazie mille!
