Alda is a wonderful and thoughtful host, and the apartment is small but beautiful and in a very convenient location right next to the train station. On the same street there are lots of restaurants and cafes which makes finding your morning coffee very easy! It is also very close (around 5 minute walk) to the Mercato and the Duomo. Alda is full of great recommendations, and we had a lovely time trying out her restaurants in her guidebook. The yogurt dessert in the fridge was made by her mother which is too precious! I would stay again if I am back in Florence.
