Alberto's lodgings in Florence are about as good as it gets! The place is a truly spectacular value - an incredibly comfortable ultra-modern room (heated towel racks in the toilet!) in a friendly environment in the heart of the tourist area of the city. Located just 10 minutes walk from the train station, every important site is within easy walking distance. Alberto is a wonderful host - helpful, curteous, and concerned about making your stay as positive as possible. He provides an included hand-delivered European-style breakfast that is surprisingly substantial. The place is spotlessly clean, and there is free coffee and tea available in the lovely common area. There is no refrigerator in the room itself, but a small one in the common area is loaded with bottles of fresh water. The guests have complete control over the climate control in their room - adjusting heat or AC to personal comfort level. The bed is a large (Queen?) with a wonderfully soft mattress. There are many other small charming features that I have failed to mention. As with most of Firenze, the place is decorated with many works of art. About the only negative I could muster regarding this truly great bargain would be that it is at the top of three rather steep flights of stairs - probably not the best location for anyone with a disability of great age. But other than that small caveat, I could not recommend more highly this great place to stay. Don't miss it!
