We stayed a couple of nights in Alessandra's apartment in Florence and it had almost everything we needed. The apartment is very close to Piazza Pitti and Ponte Vecchio, but not in the middle of a crowded touristic area which was great.

The apartment is nice, comfortable and very clean.

It is on the 3rd floor of an old building and is accessed by narrow steep Duomo-like stairs which are ok unless you have big heavy luggage.

We haven't met Alessandra, only Manuela the cleaning lady who made the effort to show us around.

I would recommend this place as long as you travel light.
