We really enjoyed our stay at Francesca’s apartment in Florence. The location could not be better. We arrived quite late after a full day of travel and little food. We were hungry and tired. We found a small pizza shop right around the corner across from the Baptistry. It was fast and delicious. Perfecto. The room was comfortable and very clean. Very well stocked kitchen and even a washer for clothes. Wish we were able to stay longer to take advantage. Right across the piazza is Caffe Scudieri, the best croissant and coffee.
Francesca provides a booklet of really helpful tips and suggestions for eating and shopping. We highly recommend Ristorante Accademia, one of her suggestions. It was fabulous. Trattoria Da Garibardi was also very good. I would definitely stay here again.
