My friend and I stayed at Alessandro and Sandra's place for our first two nights in Florence, and we really loved it. Their place is a bit out of town, as noted on the description, but once we found it we found it to be a good base from which to explore Florence. It's a beautiful, clean place with all the amenities needed to make your own food or to wash and hang your clothes. And for us it was kind of nice being able to escape out of the hustle and bustle of Florence to sleep in a peaceful, quiet neighbourhood. There is an area where you can sit outside which is quite nice, as well. They left us a bottle of wine from their vineyard, and Sandra dropped off fresh eggs from their hens for us and gave us a ride down to the bus stop with our big backpacks on the last day of our stay which was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to visit Florence and stay somewhere less touristy.
