Alessandro was an amazing host. Upon arrival, he gave me tips about what to see in the city, where to eat, scams to look out for, information about transport, etc. He even went out of his way to heat up my food in his microwave in his apartment since the apartment didn't have one (although it does a very well equipt kitchen). He even left some jams and breads for breakfast.
The apartment was very clean and modern. The tv was very nice and allowed me to watch Netflix and YouTube on it.
Would definately stay at Alessandro's place if I'm in Florence again :)
