We had a wonderful time at Alessandra's. The apartment is cozy, comfortable, Alessandra and her husband are architects and you can feel it in the way the space is designed. The kitchen, especially, is efficiently made. Books and art everywhere. Comfortable bed. Close to everything - Firenze is tiny - but removed just enough from the bustle. The apartment shares a building with a bakery, so the building halls are literally wafting with the smell of baked bread. Can't say enough good things. And Alessandra herself is a warm, lovely person, easy to communicate with.
