I'm a bit overdue with this review, but I cannot recommend this place enough. It's so central to everything in Florence. Like others have said, the space is very large for Italy. Alessandra is one AMAZING host. She's very kind and very helpful. My wife and I are Texans so we know hospitality when we see it. If you're like us and Florence is half of your trip, you can wash your clothes and air dry it since they don't use dryers there. If you're able to book alessandra's place, then you're in a good spot. The kitchen there is supplied with just about everything you need if you want to make eggs and toast (using a pop-up toaster provided) in the morning. The showers have hot water and plenty of it. The refrigerator is large so if you plan on saving a few bucks, you can buy your own grocery and cook there. The wifi is excellent compared to other places we stayed at, especially hotels. If you're like me and contemplating on whether to book this place or something else, I encourage you to book this one. Plus Plus Plus is that it's central to everything and the place is nice compared to others.
