Fabulous, responsive host. There was fresh fruit and other snacks waiting for us in the apartment. Our family of 6 was comfortable, and the large balcony in fair weather would be a nice feature. Alessandro was very helpful with clear directions to the apartment, as well has how to easily get into downtown Florence. Easy walk to the tram, which stops right outside the main train station in city center. It would be very easy to train or drive here for a stay at this apartment. The parking was free and the area around the apartment was very safe. Coffee and brioche at a shop right below the apartment was nice too! It really felt like we were staying at a friend’s apartment, with a homey, lived-in feel. January was the perfect time to visit Florence - crowds were minimal. We had a lovely stay!
