Francesca's place was lovely. The location was perfect. Centrally located - right next to the Duomo and surrounded by shops and restaurants. Francesca met us at the apartment to check in and gave us a detailed map of the area and several recommendations. The only thing to consider is that the bedroom is on the second floor and the staircase is rather narrow so getting the luggage up there is a bit tricky. Very clean and adorably appointed. I highly recommend booking her place. I also recommend Trattoria San Lorenzo which was just to the right of the apartment one block down. We had the most amazing meal there - our waiter Paolo was fantastic. Enjoy Florence!
