The best part about Alessandro and Azadeh's place are two fold. One is location, location, location. It is literally a block from the Duomo and across the street from one of my favorite grocery stores in the world- Eataly. I think I went to Eataly every other day when we were there. All around the apt are shops, restaurants, etc. It will take you about 5 min to get to the Academia and about 5-10 min to get to shops such as the TIM store for a SIM card.
The second is Azadeh herself. Check in and check out was seamless. She met us and greeted us. Showed us everything in the apt we could need. How to use the washer. How to use the fan, air conditioner, etc. She provided us with a great map of all the sites. Her booklet is filled with handy places such as where to get groceries, where to eat, where has happy hour, etc. She is by far one of the most organized hosts I have encountered. Provided extra adapters, shampoo, etc. Really Azadeh has thought of everything you can need for such a small space. She also helped us get a cab upon leaving which was so appreciated as its hard to get a cab in Florence. You can see why she is the definition of a super host!!
The apt is small. Its very organized for a small space but just know its not that big as it's a studio. Honestly I would love to try Azadeh's other apts as she is a host to several apts in the same bldg. This place is perfect for a couple and the best place to stay if you need to be near the Duomo.
