Alessandro was a great host. He patiently explained (in perfect English) the layout of his apartment. He provided us with maps of the area and directions for the surrounding area. His apartment was perfect and the air conditioning worked great (as it was in the mid 90’s during our stay). A bonus feature was his washing machine – especially after many long hot days of site seeing! The photos posted on his website were exactly as his apartment looked and the terrace was beautiful. There is a grocery store very close to the apartment if you need supplies. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Florence and would highly recommend this place.
