Allesandro and Nermin were amazing hosts! They were both easy to contact via Whatsapp and replied quickly. Check in was a breeze as Nermin was there and prepared for us and even got the apartment cleaned for us to check in early which allowed us to spend more time in Florence! Nermin gave us so many amazing local recommendations we might not have known about as they were not typical tourist destinations and it was sooooo great not to have to go to tourist traps. The apartment itself is cozy and appointed beautifully with excellent hardware and details. Yes it is small but for one or two people it is doable. Closet space is at a minimum however it did not really bother us. The bed is so good we slept in an extra hour. We had no electricity problems like others have noted. There is a market Cando right around the corner and a taxi stand literally a block or two away in front of a beautiful church. The touristy areas are far enough away that you feel like you are stuck amongst them but the apartment is close enough that you can easily walk to everything. We especially loved that t was close to the river and so we were able to explore the other side of Florence and eat at local restaurants there as well! Allesandro and Nermin again were terrific hosts and I highly suggest you give this apartment a try!
