I was a student in need of a safe, quiet apartment and Alberto's apartment exceeded expectations. The apt was clean, well-appointed (the washing machine was a very welcome amenity as are the heated towel racks) and had everything I needed to feel at home. The location was an easy walk to school, supermarkets and all the sites (it's sort of triangulated between the Uffizi, Ponte Trinita and Santa Maria Novella). There are many lovely shops and restaurants nearby and Alberto had suggested a few restaurants in his welcome message. I tried Da Que' Ganzi where I ate my weight in coccoli and had pizza at Berber and Livio Pizzeria - both excellent. Communication with Alberto was very easy - he proactively checked in with me and when I couldn't figure out the stove, he very quickly responded with a video that clearly explained what I needed to know. I highly recommend this wonderful apartment.
