Alessandra's apartment is as lovely as Alessandra herself. It is decorated beautifully and has a very homey vibe. Spotlessly clean and comfortable. Everything worked as advertised. The kitchen is adequately equipped for simple cooking. We took Alessandra up on her offer to pick us up at the train station and that was a real treat for us at the chaotic Florence station. The apartment location is perfect for visiting all the major Florence sites on foot. If we are ever in Florence again this would be our first choice in accommodations.
