Alessio is a very gracious host, and he went above and beyond in accommodating us for an extra day on short term notice. The apartment is in a great location if you are visiting the gardens or Pitti Palace, but it is a bit of a hike to the main city center and train station from the flat. If you are up for a walk (around 20 minutes or more) or for taking the buses (the easiest way is to download Applepay or another contactless payment method to your smart phone or smart device, as buses accept this), then getting to the city center (where the Duomo and many of the museums are) is not an issue and this flat is a great value!
