Alessandro and his lovely wife were the perfect hosts! They were so helpful and gave us great advice and tips about what to do in the city and where to eat etc. The apartment was clean, beautiful, and perfectly situated - just minutes from the Duomo and Uffizi - not to mention shops, gelato, restaurants and more. The apartment is 3 flights up, but that was no problem for us or our kids (10&12). The kids loved their sweet room and I loved the decor! We couldn't be happier in Florence!
