A wonderful, comfortable, and centrally located apartment in a town with a long and significant history. Easy walk to major attractions, restaurants, pasticcerie, and cafes. We immediately felt at home here. Both bedrooms were spacious and well lit, with good cross ventilation. Everything in the apartment worked well, good water pressure, plenty of hot water, and enough kitchen equipment to prepare meals, although Prato has an abundance of excellent restaurants. Francesco provided a secure private garage nearby as well a permit to travel through ZTL areas.
But the highlight to our stay was the service and assistance provided by our host, Francesco. Not only was he easily accessible to coordinate the usual problems of getting into an apartment rental, he assisted us when we had an issue with our car on the day of our departure. Without going into detail, Francesco provided hours of assistance that day and many hours during the following ten days helping us resolve this problem. He provided this help without being asked to do so. Over the last ten years, we have stayed in dozens of apartments in Spain, France, and mostly Italy, and this was without a doubt above and beyond anything we have experienced.
We loved Prato and will be returning for a week, at least, but the primary reason for returning is our host and now good friend, Francesco.
