My sister and I just spent a perfect month at Francesco's modern flat. I attended a NY Film Academy workshop in Florence and this place is all a student could ask for: close to everything and hidden from the crowds. The school was at San Lorenzo Market, a very pleasent 5 min. walk away. There's a supermarket at the end of the street which had very good prices compared to others. The apartment's decoration is lovely and everything works fine. All of my classmates were jealous of my place. Francesco was very kind at welcoming us and gave us a lot of information from a local point of view (plus a bunch of groceries and wine!) Although he was very busy working during our stay, he took time to reply every single e-mail I sent him. Fran: you were the perfect host! I'm just so sorry that we could't say goodbye - I was in Milan when you passed by the apt. Hope to see you again soon! All the best, Joe.
