Alex’s apartment is truly lovely. It is decorated in a modern yet rustic style, perfect in drawing the atmosphere from Florence into the interior. It is well equipped with everything a guest would need. The location cannot get any better as the apartment is directly next to the beautiful Duomo.
The air conditioning makes a slight rattling noise if set to a certain temperature and takes a while to cool down, so keep this in mind if you’re a light or temperature-sensitive sleeper. Also, as other reviews point out, there are several flights of stairs. This was not an issue for me as I’d packed light, but keep this in mind if you’re stowing heavy luggage or aren’t able to climb several flights of stairs.
