We loved our stay at Alessandro's place. The location could not be more central -- from the corner of the Ponte Vecchio, we could explore both the museums and touristy areas as well as the Oltrarno. Staying in the tower was an amazing experience and really made us think of the history of the place we were sleeping! Additionally, the apartment was the largest we had stayed in in Italy, by far! Very spacious. To get to the apartment, be prepared for a hike up some steps (though no different than any other Airbnb/experience in Italy!) Finally, Alessandro and Alessio gave us tons of recommendations for museums and restaurants -- one of them (Casalinga) was our favorite meal of the trip and one of the best meals we have ever eaten!
