This is an absolutely fabulous apartment in an excellent location. San Frediano is a wonderful neighborhood in Firenze, home to actual locals (not just tourists like the other side of the Arno) and full of great nightlife and restaurants. At the same time, it is an easy walk to the main sites, and Alessandra’s apartment is completely insulated from street noise, as it faces a courtyard on the inside of the building. The apartment itself is beautiful and newly renovated, with an amazing terrace, comfortable bed, very effective air conditioning, and probably the best shower I have experienced in Italy. Alessandra is an extremely kind and accommodating host, and lives right next door. She was a great neighbor and always responded immediately when we sent her a message. We stayed here for a month and I was so sad to leave. We would absolutely come again. Highly recommended!
