Francesca's place is about a 20 to 25 min walk from the SM Novella and her checkin is between 2 to 3pm. We arrived early in Florence, checked our bags in at the baggage deposit at the station (5 Euros per piece for the first 6 hours). We then went to the Accademia and after picked up the bags and checked in around 2pm. Her house is on the 3rd floor (top floor) and since we were traveling very light didnt have any trouble carrying up our bags. Francesca was very courteous, helpful and nice. The AirB&B is a small space that leads up to the attic via a spiral staircase. The place is really quaint, old world and very cute. There are some nice touches with a writing desk and chair, some stylish leather suitcases. There is a nice bathroom and a door to a small hatch of a terrace. We had a couple mosquitoes the first night because we kept the door open (Francesca has a small note explaining that we could use mosquito repellents which were plugged in for us). The next day we kept the door closed all day as were only coming back to sleep in the nights. There is also a table fan that we used. Her space is in a very convenient part of the city, away from the bustle yet close to the Duomo and she gave us the most amazing tips on local places to eat. We had a thoroughly good time at Florence and enjoyed our stay.
