If there is such a thing as a super, super host- that would be Alessandra. After having looked at so many options, we are so blessed to have found her apartment where our daughter could stay for a year during her studies in Florence. From day one, Alessandra showered us with her warmth and hospitality. She was quick to attend to every single thing that we have pointed out needing attention in the apartment. It is immaculately clean, well -maintained and centrally located. It was a bit of a challenge for us to carry heavy luggages up and down the stairs but it proved to be a source of regular exercise to muster enough guts to go up and down to get to the apartment. The view from the top is wonderful. When I helped set up my daughter for her stay, we made sure we took Alessandra's offer to take her free yoga classes that came with the rental. It provided us with relaxation from our mostly tired and aching bodies from the busyness of our days. More than a landlord, Alessandra has become a friend who has also welcomed us in her home for her home cooked meals. We will always cherish in our hearts every moment spent with Alessandra and the gift of affection she has shown us. If you ever have the chance to book Alessandra's apartment, do so because you will then be treated to a taste of sincere Florentine hospitality and kindness that will stay with you for the rest of your life.
