I absolutely loved staying at Alessandra's place in Florence for many reasons.
First and foremost, Alessandra was absolutely wonderful. Before even arriving to Florence, she sent detailed instructions with a map on how to reach her apartment to ensure we would not get lost. She was available and quickly responsive via email. Upom arrival, she greeted us at the apartment. She showed us around the apartment and answered any questions we may have had about anything.
Second, the apartment was perfect. It was clean, comfortable, and sufficiently spacious. There was also air conditioning so sleeping at night was comfortable despite the heat outside.
Third, the location of the apartment was also great. It's nearby to everything you want to see or do in Florence.
I highly recommend staying at Alessandra's. It's the place to stay if you are visiting Florence. Additionally, one of us had a birthday while we were there and Alessandra stopped by one evening to gift us a bottle of wine to celebrate! She is a great host but also a wonderful person.
