Alessandra is a lovely host. Even though we arrived later than expected she paitenly waited for us. and gave us a warm welcome. The check in ran smoothly and she even recommended us a few restaurants for the evening based on our preferences. Overall we had a lovely stay at the apartment and didn't miss a thing. Cannot say anything about the kitchen though because there have been plenty very good bakeries, restaurants, Enotecas around to spend the evening. The apartment certainly is very well located to start any endeavour in and around Florence.
