Staying at Francesca's apartment was fantastic. Talk about location, location, location....it is perfect for everything you need to see in Florence. The apartment is a great size, with a functional kitchen. The bed is very comfortable too. There are plenty of lovely cafes and restaurants within the street that the apartment is located, and a supermarket about 10m away. Noise was not an issue, despite the apartment being located in a very touristic area. Francesca is absolutely delightful. Any question I had prior to arrival was answered very quickly. During our visit Francesca was available to offer guidance and answer any questions I had. Do yourself a favour and book Francesca's apartment. I will certainly be recommending the apartment to my family and friends.
