Rebekah and Alessandro were the perfect hosts: very welcoming, excellent with communication, and extremely helpful when our departure plans were complicated by street closures for a running event so that cabs refused to accept reservations. They went out of their way to make sure we got to the train station on time and without having to worry. The location of the apartment is great - very easy to walk everywhere. The apartment is spacious, and the bedroom is located away from the street so very quiet for sleeping. We were there for an extended stay, so we appreciated having a washing machine and drying racks (there was no dryer, as is typical for Florence apartments). They even provided a shopping cart for trips to the grocery store, and an umbrella for the rain. We were very pleased with our experience! Thank you so much, Rebekah and Alessandro!!!
