Francesco's apartment was amazing in the heart of the historic center only a couple of blocks from Piazza del Duomo with a large supermarket about a block away with all the food and cooking supplies anyone would need. Apartment was spotless all the cooking utensils and dinnerware were brand new plenty of hot water in the morning for showers and very spacious apartment with dishwasher. The bed was so comfortable my wife and I are going to buy this mattress when we return to the United States. Francesco was great assisting my wife and I getting our luggage up the 3 flights of stairs and providing us with a can of olive oil from his family's Farm. Everything about the apartment and the host was outstanding. There is a bar directly across the street that closes at 1 a.m. it was loud and noisy requiring us to close the windows at night to block the sound. Our only recommendation would be to provide a fan for the bedroom during the hot summer months and I'm sure that had we requested this during our stay Francisco would have provided it. All in all we highly recommend this location and host to all airbnb members and we look forward to our next trip back to Florence and being able to stay here.
