Francesco and his place are great. We had two families, a total of six in three rooms, and it worked fine for us. Street noise does carry around corners in Florence and is probably more or less nightly there, until the wee hours. The noise was hearable in two of the rooms, but (in mine) was dampened by shutting the heavy outside-wall shutters. (Latches at the bottom.) This helped, in my mind. Again, though, the apartment was fine and Francesco is a great host.
