My son and I had a great time in Florence, thanks to the wonderful apartment and host. Several positives to highlight:
1. Super location. The apartment is very centrally located and is within a short walking distance to major attractions, shops, and the train station. Yet, it is very quiet as it is hidden in an alley.
2. Good accommodations. The room is roomy and well kept. The bathroom is updated and functional. There is a small living room to be shared by the four rooms.
3. A great host. Alberto is a great host and very eager and capable to help. He told us the local attractions and good shopping places (my son bought a great leather jacket). He cooked us delicious breakfast.
All in all, a great place to stay in Florence.
