I can't begin to tell you the level of hospitality that was provided by Alessandro. When we arrived the elevator(later fixed in the same day) was broken and he offered to carry our bags. When we got up to the beautiful apartment, he sat down with us and went over everything. He got to know us and suggested things specific to our interests. Not to mention how great his sense of humor was. The view of the Dome is one of the most incredible and memorable views of our 10 day trip across Europe. We would 110% recommend staying here if you are in Florence. We unfortunately were only there for one night and one of us got sick but if we go back we know where we'll be staying.
