Alessandro is a wonderful host-- we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay during our trip to Florence! Alessandro picked us up from the train station and drove us around the city before taking us to the apartment. He was friendly and told us a lot of great tips-- despite the fact that he doesn't speak English! It was a joy to get to know him a bit during our stay. The apartment itself is clean, modern, and beautiful. It has a gorgeous patio with a beautiful countryside view and is right in the downtown square of Settignano-- close to a few bars/restaurants/cafes and literally right next to the bus that takes you into Florence. I can't recommend this place enough-- if you have a chance to stay here and meet Alessandro, do it!
