Everything about Alessio's apartment was perfect!
First, the location. Every apartment in Florence boasts about its perfect location, but this TRULY is the best. Literally right next to the Uffizi, directly behind the magnificent Piazza della Signoria, and a stone's throw from Ponte Vecchio. You won't find a better location!
Next, the apartment itself was beautiful: tastefully decorated, fully equipped and very modern (washer and dryer!). The two bedrooms are roomy, and there's even a loft where another person could sleep. The apartment is on the top-floor of the building, so the view is wonderful. And while there is no lift, our family with three young kids (stroller, backpacks, etc!) had no problem with the stairs. It is worth the climb everytime!
Finally, Alessio was the perfect host. Attentive without being intrusive, he was always readily available whenever we needed anything. It helps that his family owns the restaurant next door, we saw Alessio and the cooking staff almost every day! The kids got a huge kick out of that. (By the way, his restaurant is Antico Fattore, the oldest trattoria in Florence, make sure you eat there!)
All in all, Alessio's place was a dream – do yourself a favor and book it now!
