Alessandra was a terrific and accommodating host. She was very friendly and welcoming. We not only appreciated her help and advice on navigating Florence (how to get around, places to eat at, etc)- she was very responsive to any of our questions.
You can tell she is genuinely interested in making her guests' experience a pleasant one which we were very pleased with.
The location is central to everything in terms of walking (less than 5 mins to the Arno river, 10 minutes to the Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, 10 minutes to the Santa Maria Novells train station). It's a great base in yo return to after a busy day of sight seeing.
We used the kitchen which is well equipped if you want to make meals on stove.
