Alessandro's place is very lovely. It's spacious and very clean, with a very well equipped kitchen. It's in a very central location of Florence too, which is great. All the major sites are only minutes away. However, keep in mind that the street outside can be very noisy. I'm a very deep sleeper, yet I woke up every single night due to loud talking and partying. I personally didn't mind much though, as the room was otherwise very good.
