The stay at Alessandro's was absolutely delightful!
The apartment was clean, bright, comfortable, well-maintained, and very conveniently located! There is a slice of view of the red dome of the Duomo from the kitchen, and you can see the bell tower from the kitchen and living room.
There are fantastic restaurants and cafes right around the corner, and major museums are very close by.
There was a music festival going on a block away every night the week we stayed, however we are not light sleepers and it didn't bother us. In fact, it was fun to overhear the concerts and be so close to the party.
The AC was powerful and kept us extremely cool and comfortable overnight, and the kitchen was well-supplied and easy to use. It was only 11Euro to get a taxi from the train station to our front door, sparing us a 15 minute walk in record heat. The Pietre Dure is a small overlooked museum of craftsmanship right across the street, a convenient farmacia a block away, and with the Academia, and Archeological museums so close, we absolutely loved this location and our stay. The Duomo is a 6 minute walk away, the San Marco just up the street, and the Uffizi was only about a 12 minute walk away. We would absolutely stay there again and again, despite the price.
