Francesca and Bruno were great hosts. They were both on hand to greet us and show us around the apartment. You can see the pride they have as it is wonderfully decorated and homey. They also warned us that taxis were hard to come by and so they set up our ride to the train station upon check out. The street is very quiet but only a block or so away from stores and restaurants as well as the bus stop. The Duomo was a 5 minute walk and the Uffizi was less than 10.
