We loved staying at Francesca's apartment in Florence for the month of June 2014. It was perfect for our family of four, including two kids ages 4 and 1.5 years old. The apartment is sunny and spacious, it includes a washing machine, two bathrooms, and plenty of bed space. The location is perfect -- a short walk to the Duomo, the Sant Ambrogio Market, amazing piazzas, wonderful restaurants, and also two children's playgrounds and a library with a great children's section (including English language books). The apartment is located on the third floor -- from the front door to the third floor, there are 79 stairs to climb, with no elevator. Luckily, you can leave your stroller on the first floor so you won't need to drag it up all those steps. The stairs are not steep -- both our kids walked up and down the stairs themselves multiple times each day. Francesca was a kind and thoughtful host, and helped us book a taxi to facilitate our departure. We would highly recommend this apartment to anyone staying in Florence.
