We could not have wished for a better stay in Florence! The apartment was in a great location and was extremely comfortable for our time there. Alessandra has set the apartment up well with all necessities -it's well equipped for cooking should you so desire but there are also LOTS of places to eat around the area. Alessandra was the best host we have experienced and we have used Airbnb to stay places around the world at least 10 times. She was easily contactable and gave us many hints and tips for our time not only in Florence but also with some side trips we took too. What topped off our experience here were the little extras that Alessandra provided-juice, milk and jams in the refrigerator and a bottle of wine and some biscotti to enjoy. Not only that but she also met us at the train station and offered us a ride back there too! Alessandra-thank you so much! We highly recommend staying at her apartment if you are ever in Florence. The only thing others may want to know is that if you are a light sleeper -you may want earplugs as you can hear street noise at night and the apartment is on the 4th floor and there is no elevator so you do get good exercise!
