The perfect spot for our trip to Florence! We parked the car in the garage when we arrived and didn't move it until we left - everything we wanted to see was within walking distance. Great communication before our arrival and Alessia's very sweet parents met us and gave us lots of good info (1 speaks English which certainly helped us.) The place itself is quite safe - 1 locked door to the street from a common hall and another to the flat - and decorated very nicely with all modern conveniences. Do take her advice on the size of a car to park - the garage is small but we followed the size restriction she recommended and rented a small Fiat 500 and had no problem (not the sport model - that would likely be too big!). Also if you want to make coffee you might ask for instructions - the pot was unusual as it works with an induction cooktop. We hope to stay again sometime and highly recommend this apartment and host.
