Alessandra’s place is right in the center of it all. The Duomo is right outside your window! Alessandra met us at the flat to greet us and was quick to reply back to any questions. Gelato is right downstairs but we think the gelato at Vivoli is the best! Vivoli is only a few blocks away. You can walk anywhere from Alessandra’s flat and it is very clean. It is also very cool in her flat which is great because Florence gets hot. We arrived early via train and Alessandra allowed us to leave our bags at the flat while it was cleaned so we could walk around without carrying our bags. We walked from the train station to the flat, it only took 10 minutes. There was 4 adults and 1 toddler in our group. The flat is very toddler friendly. No toys but safe. Alessandra is a wonderful host, her place is magical, Florence is stunning and we definitely will be back.
