If I could conceive the perfect place to stay at while on my first trip to Florence, it still wouldn't live up to Francesco's amazing loft. What amazing hospitality! Francesco didn't leave anything to chance and it shows in the execution: from instructions on how to check-in, to the loft's tasteful decor and thoughtful personal touches (water in a glass decanter on arrival, readily available contact information, tourism pamphlets, assortment of books), I was beyond impressed. He also suggested amazing spots for Aperitivo and I spent my last evening in Florence at one of them: it hit all the right notes! I highly recommend this place. Grazie mille, Francesco!
