Staying in this apartment was a wonderful experience. Francesca and her mother, Luisa, responded very quickly to my emails and questions, and Luisa was graceful and helpful when she greeted us at the apartment upon our arrival. Additionally, I am grateful that she allowed us to drop our bags off and check in a couple hours before the official check-in time.

The apartment location is great for exploring the attractions that Florence offers and also has the advantage of having a neighborhood feel. It is quick and easy to walk to any number of sites from the apartment. There are very good restaurants and cafes nearby as well. Francesca and Luisa provided a helpful list of restaurants, cafes, markets, and other attractions, as well as area maps and guidebooks, which were great.

The place was cute, clean, and exactly as shown in the photos. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience!
