This wonderful apartment has lovely high ceilings and spacious rooms. Both bedrooms have en suite bathrooms, as does the kitchen. It’s very clean but far from sterile. It has a true home-like atmosphere, with lots of personal possessions entrusted to guests.
There’s a nice outside area, although when we were there in June there were lots of mosquitoes so bring repellent.
The location itself is very quiet and 10-15 mins walk from everything. There’s a cafe at one end of the street and a small park at the other.
Francesca is a lovely host. She kindly let us leave our luggage when we checked out so we could spend a full final day in Florence. She also gave at least one fantastic recommendation for dinner nearby - Cucineria (we didn’t try the others but this one was the best we found and it’s worth booking in advance especially if you want an outside table).
Francesca also gave us a map and pointed out the key places to go and she left us some supplies for breakfast.
If were returning to Florence, we’d stay here again. I wouldn’t even consider looking elsewhere.
One top tip: there was a rubbish collection at 5:30am on the Monday. It didn’t have a negative impact on our stay AT ALL. I didn’t hear it with my window closed at front of the house. My mum had her window open at the back, though, and it woke her briefly. It’s probably worth checking the collection days with Francesca on arrival and closing your window that night if you’re a light sleeper. The rooms are cool anyway, even in June.
