My husband and I spend a wonderful week in Alessandro‘s apartment. It was utterly perfect and we would certainly visit again. Communication was great and while he wasn’t in Florence at the time his friend welcomed us and Allesandro communicated with us via the app and gave us great tips. The taxi journey from the airport takes only 25 min and the price is fixed at 22 Eur plus 1 Eur per item of luggage. So no stress about being ripped off.
The apartment is huge and is very well equipped if you like to cook your own meals. We also enjoyed the sandwich maker. 😀
There is a huge double bed and another bedroom with 2 singles that can easily be pushed together. The mattresses are on the harder side which I really enjoyed.
There are 2 bathrooms with toilets in each as well as showers (one of a bath) and the water pressure is great in both.
The balcony is accessed from the second bedroom and was utterly wonderful. There is even an awning you can pull out to get cover from the sun.
The sofa area with its large comfortable and soft furnishings is great to veg out in after a days sightseeing and the aircon (in each bedroom) keeps the whole apartment cool. Always switch off when leaving to save energy costs!
The location is utterly central with the main sightseeing places a 10min stroll away but most importantly, it is not touristy. You have a great little square at the end of the road where Italians, as well as visitors, sit and enjoy coffee or a drink with antipasti platters and restaurants a plenty to chose from. There are two supermarkets as well as a huge fresh market just around the corner.
You will have a wonderful stay if you book this apartment.
