Alber´s house was a good choice to visit Florence. In the middle of the city, we could visit all by walk. Behind the Mercato Centrale, near to supermarkets and the Central Station. We save some money buying the breakfast and using Alber´s kitchen (there are microwave, cutlery, glasses, coffee maker...) If you just want a place to sleep and have a shower, it´s ok. We share the house with 4 guests and they were respectful with the common spaces, we had privacy all the time. Must take into account it´s an old house, so plumbing doesn´t works perfectly. Alber was kind, gave us clean towels, free water and we use his WiFi with no problems. If you want to visit one of the most expensive cities in the world but don´t spend too much, rent an Alber´s room.
