My husband and I had an amazing time in Florence and Alessandro was a wonderful host. He gave us directions to his home from the train station and met us at his place. Allessandro gave us so much info that all in all we used quite a bit in navigating this incredible beautiful city! It really does help to talk to someone who knows the city well. For our three nights in Florence we felt like we got to know the city and experience so much more than we would have on our own. The apartment is wonderful. Clean and cozy and I cannot say enough how grateful we are to our host for such a wonderful stay and place to enjoy the city. We did go to the top of the Duomo and the Bell Tower, The Uffizi museum and so breathtaking all of it! Also did go to a wine bar and get info that Alessandro told me about and that was great as we were not able to get out into the wine country in this area. Had amazing yummy food! Experience of a lifetime for sure! A great apartment to truly experience Florence..............loved loved the bells of the Duomo and being so close!!
