Alda's apartment is fantastic! It is very clean and modern with a wonderful view. It had everything we needed for our visit to Florence. Alda was also a great host with lots of good tips and recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing. The apartment is within walking distance of most of the major sights and is a very short walk from the train station. There are plenty of restaurants nearby. There is also a grocery store right across the street (Sapori & Dintorni - it had a blue sign) where you can pick up whatever you need. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again!
