We got started out on the wrong foot in the beginning of are experience with Francesca. When we arrived at the apartment no one was there to greet us. After texting and calling and no response we were about to leave when a neighbor happened to be walking by and said that in fact we were at the correct address but that Francesca is most likely running late. So we waited a bit longer and she did finally arrive.
Francesca was very pleasant and apologized for the inconvenience. She brought us a lovely bottle of wine from her husbands winey. She gave us a quick tour of the apartment which was spotless with a very homey feeling. I must admit it was quit small even for a one bedroom. It won't be a place I would stay for an extended period of time but that being said it is a great location for a weekend getaway as we were right smack in the heart of Florence but still really enjoyed the feeling of being a local.
Francesca hooked us up with some amazing leather shops that had fantastic prizes (much better then the main stream). In closing, it is probably a good idea to get your coffee to go in the mornings before you hit the museums as the stove top burners do not work well in the apartment.
