Our stay in Florence was so comfortable and convenient at Alberto's apartment. The location couldn't have been better. We loved being tucked into an area that is so close to all the sites, yet tucked into a street that doesn't feel too touristy. Right below there are a couple of excellent restaurants if you are too tired to trek far to have dinner. A great coffee shop around is the corner as well as many options for gelato.
The apartment was just as it is in the photo. Nicely styled and very spacious. We stayed with our two older children (11 and 18) and they were able to have separate rooms (which they loved). It really felt like home having so much privacy for ourselves.
Alberto was an excellent host. He and his lovely wife were there to meet us for an early checkin. He even texted me in the middle of our stay to see if everything was OK. Then without my asking, he called us a taxi so we could get to our train on time upon checking out for our trip to the Amalfi coast. We couldn't have expected more from this gracious host!
