Alessandro has a very clean and well furnished apartment at a great location. My wife and I have no complaints about our week long stay in the apartment. There was plenty of space for two people. We enjoyed using the private patio for our morning breakfast or as a place to have a final drink before bed.

He was very responsive as we planned our trip and responded back quickly to our couple questions. He met us at the apartment and provide a comprehensive overview of the apartment and Florence.

As others have said the location is perfect. You are literally staying at the Duomo. It's a 10-15 minute walk from the train station. If you have a lot of luggage it will be challenging with the cobblestone streets and crowds at the Duomo. We had 1 piece of luggage and didn't have any problems.

The walk to the river or to the Uffizi is between 10 to 12 minutes away from the apartment, assuming you don't stop for gelato. There was a grocery store half a block away with everything we needed.

Florence is a wonderful city and Alessandro's apartment was a great way to enjoy our stay.
