We enjoyed our stay at Alessandra's. She was in touch with great communication, and fast response. Not only did she agree to an early check-in, but also met us outside the apartment, before a quick tour and some great complementary treats from Alessandra.
The home is in a good location - about the same walking distance from the station (15 mins) to the start of the centre of Florence.
The apartment is as listed, and the garden is a great bonus, especially being able to use the washing machine and dry clothes outside quickly.
