Besides Florence being the highlight of our trip Azadeh & Alessandro's apartment was too! They both met us at the apartment and helped us with the luggage. The apartment was located right in the middle of everything and had all the comforts of home. There were two large windows in the living room that let in tons of natural light and had a view of the tower. From the bedroom you could see the Duomo! Azadeh clearly explained everything to us and even took the time to show us some highlights on a map, along with a list of recommendations. She even anticipated our needs and told us about the possibility of mosquitos and the apartment was equipped to combat them. Azadeh also told us about the history of the building and there was a book about it in the apartment. It was so neat! They were available for questions about the area during our stay and responded within minutes. When we left, it was raining and there was trouble getting a taxi and Alessandro was kind enough to take us to the train station, which was within walking distance, but with the luggage and the rain it would have been difficult. We walked to every museum from the apartment. I can't say enough about how impressed we were. Stop searching for a place to stay because this is it!
