I felt more "at home" staying with Alessandro and Natasha than I did anywhere else in Italy over my three-week-long trip. They are so welcoming, hospitable and helpful - truly sweet people who want you to feel that their home is yours while you are staying there. They welcomed me with a nice little meet and greet, introduced me to some typical Tuscan foods and gave me tons of pointers about where to eat and what to do around Florence in my time there. The location of the apartment is PERFECT. If you're interested in sightseeing, you could not ask for a more central location. It's literally a quick walk to everywhere you could want to go, and right around the corner from the Uffizi Gallery. In addition to just being open and warm people, Natasha and Alessandro are both hospitality professionals, so they really know how to help travelers figure out the city. Alessandro helped me book a private tour of the Vasari Corridor, which is normally very hard to get at the last minute. He was more than happy to use his contacts to help me see this important piece of architecture and Florentine history. I loved staying with them - the room was beautiful, clean and comfortable too, of course. I would definitely stay again. :)
