Alessandra and Francesco's apartment is so beautiful – full of classic details and gorgeous artwork – and located on the fashionable 'antiques' street, just a block across from the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens. We even found it a very easy walk directly from the central train station, if you don’t have too much luggage. Everything we wanted to see (and eat!) was definitely within walking distance, and often in Oltrarno. A wonderfully comfortable bed, with a bit of traffic noise in the morning, but not a problem if you’re used to city living. We'd definitely recommend Alessandra and Francesco's place for an authentic, elegant stay in Florence.
