Alex's place was the perfect spot for my trip to Florence. I loved it's location in the Santa Croce area away from the packed streets near the Duomo. There was a grocery store a block away, and a series of fantastic shops including both bakeries and used bookstores nearby. The space itself was as described and I particularly enjoyed the stunning view from the main space overlooking the rooftops of Florence. Perhaps the best part, however, was the private terrace that has near 360 degree views of Florence. Alex was very responsive and check-in/check-out was a breeze. Would definitely stay at Alex's place again!
