Francesco met us at the designated time and spent about 20 minutes introducing us to the apartment, telling us about the neighborhood, and giving us pointers for visiting Florence. He was very thorough and extremely welcoming.

The apartment itself was great. It was larger than we expected from the listing, and came with a well-stocked kitchen. Beds were quite comfortable, and neighborhood location was great. A far walk from Santa Croce, but very close to Accademia, the train station, and the Mercato Centrale.

The apartment was somewhat noisy at night from upstairs neighbors, but the street was quiet.
