Alfonso's apartment is very quirky and unique. It has a beautiful terrace which is lovely and relaxing. The home itself reminds me of something out of Harry Potter it is very unique and homely. There are a number of stairs to the top which is tricky with suitcases unless you packed light. We found we often walked approx. 10minutes to the bridge to cross to the other side for the more touristy attractions. Communication was great and we were able to check our bags in early which was super helpful in letting us explore Florence :)
