Alessandro’s place is beautiful with little unique touches. He was responsive and easy to communicate with. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay in the apartment. It is connected with the main attractions by bus and has supermarkets nearby.
Couple of things to keep in mind though- the mezzanine level could be noisy if neighbors decide to have a long Saturday night get together as walls are attached. We faced the same issue the next day early morning when trucks were unloading something in the front house for an hour and it got very noisy and bright in the bed room.
I have not stayed in any other apartment in Florence and may be this is a norm since all the houses are connected here.
