We consider Alessandro to be a fine gentleman. His level of communication with us, from pre-booking through booking, pre-arrival and then while we were his guests, was outstanding. We appreciated the time he took with us at his apartment to ensure we knew where everything was and how everything worked. In addition, his advice about where to find different restaurants and shops in Florence was helpful. His apartment is delightful, starting with his welcoming fruit basket and bottle of wine! Everything worked, the apartment looked like the photos, the bed was comfortable, and it is clear to us that he has taken great pride in his ability to provide a first class experience to his guests. The apartment was relatively quiet, and we enjoyed being awakened by the Church bells in the morning. We look forward to returning to stay with Alessandro again, and we would recommend him to our best friends. What a delightful experience!!!
