Alessandra's place is great value for the money, especially in this season in Florence! Like others said, it's very well located and Alessandra is an amazing and very helpful host: met me in person, gave me a tour of the place, responded by text and email to my questions about plug adaptors, etc. The flat has everything you need to cook simple meals and plenty of toilet paper, towels, etc. The only minor inconvenience is that the area of the Mercato Centrale is busy and noisy, but quiet at night, especially in a flat which is very well-isolated by double windows. The A/C was a blessing in torrid June and also muffled the noise, allowing me to sleep in in the morning. One of the A/Cs broke down during my stay, but one still worked well to keep the small flat cosy. Would recommend this place to my friends in a heartbeat!
