Our experience at the Box House was great! Alessandro (Alex) was the perfect host and went far out of his way to ensure that our stay in Florence was nothing but the best! The house itself is much larger than expected and is located in a prime part of town - away from the tourists but not too far from the heart of the city. There are two bikes available for use which definitely helps as Florence is certainly best experienced via bike. As many reviews have mentioned, the home represents a very eclectic set of items and design characteristics. From the 4-5 guitars, vintage lighting, books, movies, extensive record collection (and fully functional record player and sound system to be enjoyed), etc.

Alex was VERY responsive during our stay - answering any questions that we had upon arrival in a very timely manner (5-10mins). Our last night in the city, my girlfriend unfortunately lost the keys to the house while touring the many historical sites of Florence. Alex went out of his way (30-40 minutes in fact) to provide us entry to the home fairly late at night.

All this to say that: (i) we felt right at home during our stay, (ii) we can't imagine a better host... and (iii) we will definitely look to book the Box House the next time we are in Florence!
