Alessandro's apartment is amazing. It is bigger than we expected and has everything you could possibly need to have an enjoyable stay. We were met by Valentino , Alessandro's friend and he was very welcoming and helpful. The apartment is just outside the caos of the historic centre but still within walking distance of all the sights. We arrived in Florence by train and it was very quick and easy to catch a bus right to the apartment. The bedding is comfortable and we slept well. We were just 2 of us staying but the space is plenty big enough for 4 as there is a brand new sofa bed in the sitting room. This apartment is great value for money and I would highly recommend it. I know we will be back.
