Alessandro was a very nice host. He was welcoming when we got there and took the time to give us a map and highlight the main sites we should see while in Florence. The bedroom is large, comfortable and well equipped and we we were able to do some cooking in the kitchen without any problems. It's about a 20 minute ride into the city center with the public bus (which runs quite frequently Mon-Fri and less often on Sat and Sunday), which was never a problem. For the price, it's a great deal. Would definitely recommend!
