Alessandro’s place was wonderful. It’s location is hard to beat, being a short distance from the SMN train station, Mercato Centrale and the Duomo. The room has everything a couple would typically need for visiting Florence, including guide books for more ideas of what to see. One note: the apartment is up three flights of stairs, so those who are challenged with mobility or climbing stairs should look elsewhere. For us, it was good exercise after some hearty eating in town. Highly recommended.
