This apartment is an excellent and comfortable base from which to see and enjoy Florence. Alessandro is a very kind and helpful host. The apartment was very clean and very convenient to the sights for which Florence is famous, such as the Ufizzi Galleries, the statue of David, and the Duomo, as well as to the railway station. The apartment was very clean, and the neighborhood was interesting and seemed safe. The apartment is in the limited traffic zone, which makes walking quite pleasant. The wifi worked well. The apartment includes a small clothes washing machine which is effective but operates unusually for Americans; however, if you want to use it, consult carefully with Alessandro on its operation - for example, the light switch for the bathroom also turns off the washing machine. Also be careful not to use too many appliances at the same time, as it may pop the circuit breaker. With those caveats, we were most pleased with our stay in the apartment.
