The best part of our trip was Florence and Alessandra made it even better. Her place was so comfortable and welcoming. She was incredibly gracious and helpful. The apartment is smack in the middle of anything you might want to see or do in the city. Restaurants in the neighborhood are great, not to mention coffee and gelati and dolce and wine......... We will be back. The best sleep we had all month. AND LAUNDRY! I forgot to mention how wonderful it was to have access to a washing machine. Thanks Alessandra!
