Our stay in Florence was truly enhanced by the magnificent apartment hosted by our even more wonderful host alessandra. The apartment was even more beautiful than the website pictured. The location perfect and so easy to get to from the station - maximum 10minute walk. I would recommend walking as I think a taxi would take longer due to the traffic. Alessandra was an exceptional host. She went beyond what we would ever expect - the extra little things left in the apartment for us to use were great - especially if you like to cook while you are away... Staple items such as oil, sugar etc. the apartment was spotlessly clean and spacious. Ian greeted us as alessandra was away the day we arrived - he was great taking us through all of the apartment and showing us how everything worked. We had the greatest pleasure meeting with alessandra. She was so so helpful, even contacting our next host for us so that our ongoing journey was as smooth as possible. I would very highly recommend staying at alessandra's apartment. ..., we will definitely stay again on our next visit to Florence. Thank you so much alessandra .... Ciao Mary & Pete
