This is a great location to explore Florence and the surrounding area (Pisa & Lucca for us)! Do not hesitate to book with Alice! When you arrive at the apartment, which is a stone's throw away from everything in Florence, she will greet you and explain everything you need to know about the apartment, the surrounding area, or whatever you can ask her. On top of that, she may be able to help you book a tour to an Italian winery (one of the highlights of our trip, something we inquired about, not something she tried to sell us!) When we return to Florence, we hope to return to this same apartment. Just make sure to space showers if you like to use a lot of hot water (like my wife). If you are unsure about booking, I hope this review will push you over the edge! Alice has been by far the best host we've met to this point. The area around the apartment felt safe and secure at all times of night; the apartment has 2 doors before you get to the apartment door which made it even more relaxing while trying to sleep for us as we felt very secure. The apartment has a ton of windows and gets a very good breeze in the evening. You can even see the top of the church from the windows, which face an inner courtyard one floor up (second floor for American standard though Europe would say it's the first floor) We would definitely recommend this place, and Alice, to our friends and family.
