We loved staying in Ale's lovely apartment. The location was superb, right in the heart of Florence, and the apartment had everything we needed (wifi and washing machine being important to us especially).
The apartment did not have a sitting room but I have to say myself and my partner loved sitting in the retro kitchen each evening.
But best of all as how helpful and nice Ale was! He was there waiting for us when we arrived and showed us everything we would need to know around the apartment as well as just making us feel so welcomed to Italy :)
