The communication with Alessandro via AirBnB was fantastic from the start. When we arrived at the accommodation we were welcomed by Alessandro's cousin - but the whole family were friendly and very welcoming. The apartment was very clean, beautifully decorated and well-equiped. For us the location was excellent. The property is on the edge of a country vineyard and on the outskirts of Florence - providing a best of both worlds experience. It was a short walk to the bus stop and a brief bus ride into Florence. We strolled back from Florence - pushing my five month old son in his buggy - and it took only about 45 minutes to an hour. This was our first stay using AirBnB and it was a fantastic introduction thanks to the excellent welcome and hospitality provided by Alessandro and his family. I would recommend Alessandro as a host and his property to anyone.
