This was a charming apartment that had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Alessio made us feel right at home and responded right away to anything we needed. The location is ideal for visitors who want to see the sights of downtown Florence: only a few blocks away from most major sights, but not in the main tourist path so a quieter neighbourhood. Our one note to visitors is that it is quite noisy at night, even with earplugs, so we would not recommend this location for anyone who is a light sleeper. Alessio did his best to help by posting signs in the alley outside the door, but this location is a Vespa pickup or parking spot and around the corner from a popular bar, so street noise is inevitable.
