Location,Location, Location! I have a terrible sense of direction and Florence is easy to get lost in but when you're located so close to the Doumo it's always easy to get your bearings!
The apartment was great- ultra clean and user friendly. Real size appliances and the bathtub was the best after a hard day of walking. All kinds of restaurants and shopping right outside the front door.
The apartment is amazingly quiet, no noise because it's a pedestrian street below.
The kitchen has everything including a nice selection of condiments and spices.
The patio is quiet and a great place to hang out and escape the hustle of the streets below.
Alessandro is as others have described him- very accessible and helpful yet he certainly doesn't intrude.
One of the great values in Florence is prescription eyeglasses particularly if you get off the main shopping streets.
I just got back home to Boulder,Colorado, yesterday so I am feeling a combination of nostalgia and jet lag but I miss the sounds of those church bells ringing throughout the city.
Rambling now, but YES, I would highly recommend this sweet apartment in this amazing city.
