Francesco's apartment is perfect for anyone wishing to spend a few days in Firenze! It was near Piazza Annunziata, 50 steps away from bus stop in both directions, and <15 min away from Santa Maria Novella train station. 5 min walk to Accadamia and 15 min to Uffici and Ponte Vecchio. We walked everywhere and it was the most convenient place, while being very quiet and pleasant at night. Could not have found a better place location wise!
On top of the awesome location itself, Francesco made sure that the inside of the apartment is well equipped and beautiful. We arrived much later than expected, due to my friend's delayed flight from Paris. Francesco's parents met us at the apartment instead, and they were the nicest ever! They showed us everything available in the apartment, and gave recommendations on where to eat, buy grocery (the Conad City was less than 5 min away), and where to visit where it's not too crowded.
The apartment itself is awesome as well. The sleeping loft is clean and roomy, the living room has a comfy sofa which can turn into another bed, although we didn't need. The kitchen had all the utensils, cooking equipment and coffee machine. The bathroom had washing machine and heated drying rack.
We loved everything about the apartment, and we wished we would stay in Firenze a bit longer. I will definitely return to Francesco's apartment in a future Italy trip.
