We loved staying at Francesca's apartment. It is so central to everything we can pretty much walked everywhere from here. It is a beautifully appointed place with comfy bed and we appreciated the complimentary wine, water, and hot drinks. Immediately on the street is a little shop that sells fresh fruit and less than a minute walk is a little supermarket. Top notch location and lovely hostess make Francesca's apartment one that we will highly recommended for visiting Florence. Oh and we walked to the apartment with our two big pieces of luggage from the train station without too much trouble!
