Me and my girlfriend stayed with Alessandro & Natasha at their place, Maison Orange, in June 2014. The place was very easy to find and once we arrived, we were greeted very warmly. It's nice to see a smile on your host's face when you arrive.

After given time to settle down, we met with our hosts and they gave us a lot of helpful local information. They also answered questions we had. Upon arrival we also had a manual which explained the house rules and provided even more local knowledge (like recommended restaurants). Alessandro & Natasha also very kindly gave us a tourist city map.

With regards the actual place, we found it to be very clean. I expected it to be a bit smaller but actually the room (and private bathroom) are both well sized. We were both comfortable in the space. I also appreciated the fact that they provided us with 2 towels each and storage space in the fridge and cupboard.

The only negative aspect of the visit was that the area was noisier at night than expected, sometimes making it difficult to sleep. The noise (like people pulling market stalls or drunkards) sometimes also woke up either me, my partner or both.

Overall, I would recommend staying with Alessandro & Natasha. Although we didn't meet much, they both seem like very kind and considerate people. The Maison Orange is also very central (and clean), making it a good place to stay if you want to tour Florence on foot, as we did.
