Firstly, the location is just WOW! Secondly, Alessandro is SUCH AN AMAZING host and so wonderful to meet. He takes extra special care, adding little touches to make you feel welcome, giving us tips on where to go He was so responsive and friendly and accommodating as well. What a wonderful apartment - so perfectly located! It was a hop, skip and jump away from the piazza santa croce - and just a few minutes from the duomo - right in the midst of the historic part of the town, the riverfront, and where all the eateries were too. We were so so glad to be able to stay there! Make sure to mention to Alessandro if you're driving in - Florence has vehicular entry restrictions in specific zones (Google ZTLs - and which Italian cities you might find them in).
