I was delighted to stay in Alessandra's beautiful flat. She gave me a warm welcome, met me at the train station and then drove me to the airport when I returned home. The apartment is very well equipped with every kind of kitchen appliance as well as basic food supplies such as coffee, tea, juice, cheese and even a welcome bottle of wine, cantucci and breakfast rolls.
I would be very happy to return there the next time I am in Florence. The apartment is very close to the Duomo and the Piazza della Signoria. I would warn future guests that it is located on the 4th floor with no elevator so you should be capable of walking up steps. Once there, you are in paradise, with sun pouring through the windows in the morning!
