We spend 5 fantastic days in this lovely appartment and can only recommand it warmly! Alain is a fantastic host, caring, uncomplicated and very friendly, and the place itself has anything you need. It's extremely well situated directly behind the Duomo but also very quiet. We enjoyed late breakfast sitting in the sun in the backyard and tried some of the tipps Alain gave us for eateries and so on - all are good. Internet connection works very well (but honestly, who wants to stay home and online when you're in Florence?), the flat is nice, more than big enough for two people, clean and functional (we've been cooking several times). We'll definitely want to stay there again if we return to Florence.
