This is a large, comfortable apartment - pretty big by Florence standards. Allesandro is a kind, attentive host who is very responsive and available if needed. The apartment is in the historic area and is located walking distance to all the sights in Florence. Shops and restaurants are abundant and close by. A little elevator in the building (rare in Florence) is a bonus. The apartment has screens also if you want fresh air with no bugs. Yes, there are mosquitoes into Sept. and even Oct.
