Francesco and Chiara are perfect hosts. Francesco took us around the local area and showed us the market and supermarket. The apartment is beautiful 500 years old and close to everything. You can walk to all the major attractions. It was safe and secure and had a balcony. We stayed 3 weeks as we were at university and it was great wifi and study areas for the 2 of us. 2 bathrooms and 2 living areas is perfect, great kitchen, washing machine and dishwasher etc. very warm as we stayed in January. Fabulous place to stay to explore Florence. I highly recommend especially to My fellow Aussies.
