This appartment is ideally located in Florence. I attended a coference at the Fortezza which was less than 10 mins walk, as were all of the other tourist spots. There are several restaurants within meters of the flat. The appartment itself is modern with a few traditional touches ( exposed beam ceilings, louvered windows). It is located on the second floor and there is an elevator if needed. One could hear noise from the street early in the morning when shops opened, but this was not excessive and is unlikely to disturb most people's sleep. It was spotlessly clean and very spacious. Allesandro was an exceptional host. He waited up until 1.00 am to show me the appartment as I had a late flight, recommended good local restaurants, contacted me in the middle of my stay to make sure all was ok. Overall communication was excellent and speedy. I would be happy to recommend Allesandro as a host and to use the appartment again.
