Alessandra was a wonderful host. Very easy to communicate with and check in was easy. The apartment is spacious and has a nice balcony which we enjoyed. The area has a few local nice shops, bakeries and only a couple of minutes walk from the supermarkets. It’s one bus into town which can sometimes take time if there is traffic the stop is a 3 minute walk from the apartment. Would definitely recommend to others that don’t want to be right in the tourist trap of Florence.
