We really love Alessandra's apartment! We feel like we are staying at home as the layout and design is really cosy. There is a small kitchen but it has everything that you need (e.g. oven, dishwasher, fridge, etc). The location is good as well as it is walking distance to some of the main attractions. Alessandra is very friendly and response very quickly to our questions. Though she was away when we checked in, she arranged her friend to help us out, which make things really much easier. The only very minor down side is there is no lift but most apartment Italy do not have one either. Overall, this is a really lovely place to stay in when you are in Florence. Highly recommended =)
