We both loved this new apartment in Florence. Francesco and his wife were amazing hosts that went above and beyond. A bottle of wine was left for us to get comfortable in the apartment, and Francesco even arranged to have a taxi pick us up at the end of our visit, to bring us to the airport.

The apartment is in an amazing area of Florence, in that its very quick walking distance to all of the major tourist attractions - yet its a very quiet neighborhood when you get back and just want to relax. Its also located right next door to a grocery store and a fantastic pub that has all kinds of draft and bottled beer (even IPA's from around the world which we LOVED!).

We made dinner two nights in the kitchen, made drip coffee (SO WONDERFUL! As Americans, we love our drip coffee) in the mornings, and felt very very comfortable. The bathroom was very big and everything was extremely clean and organized. The sofa bed was a bit uncomfortable for us, but without a doubt, we would stay here again.

Taxi from the apartment to the airport was 20E + 3E (1E for each bag). 20 minute drive.

Train station is a 20 minute walk from the apartment. We walked there to get to Pisa for a half day.

We walked everywhere from this apartment and felt extremely safe. It truly is an amazing apartment with wonderful hosts.
