Alessandro was an excellent host. He met me at the property to ensure I had everything I needed for a two night stay. The bed was very comfortable, the apartment meticulously clean and was decorated to make you feel like a guest of the Medici, in perfect renaissance style.
My only complaint was there was no coffee or shampoo which I feel should be provided as guests do not want to purchase a two week supply of coffee for a short stay. It was difficult to face the world without that caffeine infusion! That said, there’s a wonderful bakery & coffee shop just a block away where I found a wonderful cappuccino and croissant, which put my mind in order!
As other guests have noted, it is a fair walk to the center, which I didn’t mind having lived in Firenze before, it was nice to feel like a local again. But if you’re on a short schedule and want to see the sights, be prepared to understand the transit system, which is convenient, or to possibly take a cab. I think I walked about 8 miles round trip to the heart of the city, with some meandering through those beautiful streets and back.
Otherwise this is a great stay!!
