Alessandra's place is located right off a main tourist attraction which makes it an ideal place to stay. The home is decorated with an eclectic style and feels very arty. The home is located at the top of quite a few stairs, so be prepared for that. The view from the kitchen balcony which you have to climb through a window for is totally worth it. The bed is clean and comfortable and the same goes for the bathroom facilities. The main thing I have to rave about it Alessandra herself. I had my phone stolen while out one night and she and her husband were so kind and tried to help me in anyway possible. Being a solo traveler that meant so much to me. Her gracious hospitality won't be forgotten and I will return to stay the next time in Florence.
