If you come to Florence, this is a wonderful clean apartment to stay in. I stayed here for almost three weeks to study art. It is a very quiet place, so it's perfect for even fussy sleepers like myself. With high ceilings and beautiful windows that let in a lot of light, the apartment gives a zen-like atmosphere.

In addition to all of that, the apartment is perfectly located within a 5-10 minute walking distance to all the major sites in the city, including the train station (should you need to take a day trip to Siena, which is a beautiful town just outside of Florence). You are also right near the Mercato Centrale where you can pick up all your groceries. Also, I was a woman traveling alone and I felt very safe in the area.

The wi-fi is fast, and Alessandra provides you everything you'll need to cook multiple meals for yourself and your friends. There isn't a single thing Alessandra hasn't thought of to make your stay comfortable.

Alessandra is one of the best host ever. She is just so friendly and nice that she made my first day there all the more welcoming. As soon as I got there, she helped me with getting around and she is incredibly informative. She provides you with maps, restaurant recommendations, laundromat and grocery store locations, so you can't possibly get lost even on your first day. If you have any problems, she'll come and fix it right away. She is very attentive and diplomatic. She even called for a taxi to pick me up to the airport for my return home.

With such a competent and wonderful host, this is one of the best apartments you can stay in. I've traveled around the world, so I can honestly say, you'll really enjoy this apartment if you come to Florence.

In short, I love the apartment and love the host which made me love Florence!
