We have stayed in several places throughout Florence, and Alessandra’s apartment is definitely our favorite. She is a lovely, responsive host. After meeting her at the apartment, she gave a thorough tour to make sure we knew where everything was. The apartment is located in a fabulous neighborhood. There is a nearby grocery store and plenty of great restaurants steps from the apartment. All of the tourist sites are a short walk away and you get to enjoy Florence as you’re going there. The best part is, at the end of the day, you get to leave the tourist area and go back to a great apartment located on a piazza in a peaceful neighborhood and enjoy a night of silence. Yeah, we’ve stayed in one of those apartments overlooking the Duomo. Great view, but good luck getting any sleep! Alessandra is a wonderful host with an apartment we would recommend to anybody.
