This is a beautiful apartment in the Oltrarno area. It is beautifully decorated and has all the modern conveniences. There is a small grocery store around the corner and is surrounded by great, small restaurants. It is easy to get around, not far from the Pitti Palace and just across the Arno from all the sites of Florence. We felt so at home in the apartment and could be tourists all day and then come home to a comfortable apartment. I can highly recommend Alessandra's place as a perfect apartment to use as your home base when visiting Florence.
