Francesco’s apartment is in a fantastic location — very close to great restaurants, convenience stores, a pharmacy and the market. And importantly, it’s only minutes to the Duomo and very close to many other attractions and all the shopping you will need. You’ll be able to go see an attraction, drop by the apartment for a quick rest, then head back out without losing too much time.
The apartment itself is beautiful and very comfortable for two people, only up one flight of stairs. It’s very clean, has all the modern amenities you need (including super fast internet) and stays nice and cool with the A/C. You can close the shutters and curtains at night if you need.
We stayed for 5 nights, so having a kitchen was great when we got home late from a tour of the Chianti region and didn’t want to go out.
Francesco is a fantastic and responsive host, he made us feel very welcome and right at home. He welcomed us with a yummy bottle of Chianti and recommendations of where to go. We also met his Dad when we were checking out and he was also very polite and helpful.
If you get a chance to stay in this apartment, do it — it’s highly recommended!
