We had a wonderful stay at Alessandra's apartment. It's an easy 15-20 minute walk from the train station and there is a grocery store down the street. You can get to most of the main sites in Florence from the apartment. There is also a nice selection of music and DVDs, and the kitchen is nicely equipped. Communication with Alessandra was great and she met us promptly at the agreed time. The apartment is up three flights of stairs, so this apartment might not be ideal for those bringing lots of luggage or those with mobility issues. I would stay here again on a future visit.
