If you want the true experience of Florence; we definitely recommend Alexandra's place. The location is excellent and Alexandra assisted is in every way she could. There are local restaurants one street up, which were wonderful. Not so touristy down a side street. They even gave us lemonchello to celebrate with them after our meal during closing. People were so helpful, unlike some of the other countries we were in. Plenty of space for a family, Nice balcony to sip wine hear the people on the streets, although quiet at night. We will definitely recommend and hope to some day revisit Alexandra's place.
