Alderighi is an excellent host, welcoming and very responsive. The apartment is spacious and comfortable with a stunning terrace from which you can enjoy a beautiful view of Florence having a glass of wine. It is located near Santa Croce piazza which is rather quiet area despite being in the center of the city. It took us 20 minutes to walk to the train station, 15 min to Uffizi, we could even walk to San Miniato on the opposite bank of Arno. Mercato Ambrogio, very authentic market where you can buy fresh fruit and vegetables, is very close too. And there is a lot of small coffee places and tavernas around, so you can have your espresso like locals do. Highly recommend!
