Alessia is an exceptional host. She went out of her way to allow us check in on Christmas, ensure that we had clear directions to her place and specially drop by to orientate us around her place. She left necessities and food for us to help ourselves too. Her place is close to the Duomo which makes it easy to explore around Florence. Its cosy, comfortable and well maintained. She had a garage that is handy for driving around too. Definitely thumbs up recommendation!
