Alberto's place is located at the heart of Florence, and most places that one would like to visit are about 15-minutes walk away. It is also a short walk from the rail station which makes it very convenient. The room was clean and a bottle of wine was a nice touch for check-in. Alberto also provided a wonderful breakfast of home-baked cake, sandwiches and fruits. It is a great deal if you want stay close to the tourist places. Just a couple of things - although the bathroom was very clean, there was a strange odor (probably due to old drainage systems in an old city); and also the wifi was a bit spotty from our room, and sometimes websites just refused to open.
