Alessandro’s place is adorable. It is located so that anywhere you want to go in the city is an easy walk. He was helpful when we asked about taxis and other things we didn’t know, as foreign travelers...
And, an unexpected treasure is that his place is literally down the street from St Marks opera, where I saw my first opera. Then I googled the pianist, Franz Moser, and learned this opera house (church) is rated with 5 stars under trip advisor! We will definitely stay at Alessandro’s place again, if we are able to visit Firenze again.
