Alessandra's stay is just perfect for a visit to Florence! It was our first time visiting and I think if we stayed somewhere else we would have gotten a different experience. Alessandra's apartment is clean, very big, and in a great location. It is about 8 minute walk to the Uffizi, 12 to Accademia and only 10-15 to great restaurants in Oltrarno over the Ponte Vecchio. Additionally she made us dinner reservations the first night we were in town and drove us to the train station the day we left. If this apartment is available, book!!
