Alda is such a wonderful host. Very warm, cheerful and helpful. I must say that our stay in Alda's apartment is the best so far based on some of the places we have stayed using Airbnb booking for the first time. We stayed in a bnb room at another location after Alda's apartment and we missed her hospitality and the convenience of such an apartment. Coming from the tropics and facing a cold winter was not a problem in her apartment. Air conditioning worked fantastically and her place was absolutely clean. Alda also gave us some homemade yoghurt which was absolutely delicious. Washing machine worked well and the shower was hot and powerful. There is a supermarket that is just right opposite diagonally to the left. The Florentines skills in fine jewellery is also something not to be missed and there is a row of these shops on the Ponte Vecchio bridge. There is also a central market nearby where the first level is a wet market and some food stalls and second level is a modern food court. We made friends with Alda and certainly will come back to stay at her apartment. Like what Alda says "I will be waiting for you (for our return)".
