Francesca is an excellent host. Her friendly greeting when we arrived in Florence was the perfect welcome. We used her recommendations for restaurants, leather shops, and the local market - all of which were great! The apartment is in an awesome location, just a few steps from the Duomo. It was clean, had a nice kitchen, and had a comfortable bed. There is a supermarket right across the street. We took full advantage for cheaper coffee, water, and snacks rather than buying them from the street vendors. My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our stay. We highly recommend Francesca to other travelers!
