Alessandro's place is in a great location in Florence. You can walk to the main railway station in 10 mins. It is in a a lively and safe neighbourhood. You can walk to almost all key attractions including Uffizi gallery and river front. Alessandro was communicative and helpful and responded to messages quickly. He helped us with luggage when we checked in (you need to walk up one flight of steps). Its not a big deal at all to manage this. He had thoughtfully arranged the apartment for family visitors like us. He gave us local tips as well. I highly recommend Alessandro's place in Florence.
