I absolutely loved staying at Alessandro and Brunella's place! A few things are very important to me when it comes to renting a space: cleanliness, safety and convenience. The apartment was immaculate, incredibly clean and well taken care of. The neighborhood was very safe and I felt comfortable walking around on my own. And its convenience to the grocery store (10 minute walk), coffee shop and gelateria (downstairs in the building - both so delicious) and the train station is right across the street which takes you to Florence's center station in 1 stop in less than 10 minutes and for less than €2 each way. And no, there was never any noise coming from the train station, even when I had the balcony door left open.
Brunella and Alessandro were so quick to respond to messages anytime that I needed them. They were even so kind to check in on me periodically and make sure that I was enjoying my stay.
