We spent 2 nights at Allessandro's place. The place is very close to all major sites and only about 5 min walk from Doma, the magnificient sight in Florence. Very close are the main museums like Uffizi, Academia, and other attractions plus river and the bridge Ponto Vecchio. DA Vinci museum,a must visit to those interested in this great person 's intellectual calibre, is also close by. Multiple food and gelataria options, shopping streets are nearby and the streets were flooded till about 1am and even later.
The house has two bed rooms and a living room with fully equipped kitchen. Washing machine is not available but paid washing machines and dryers available just 20 steps from the building. Provisions are easily available too. Like many old buildings in Italy this one does not have an elevator and one has to lift luggage to 3rd floor. Allessandro's partner helped us with that too. They have kept an Italy guide and a few tourist site pamphlets which are of use. A nice central place to stay this is would definitely stay here again.
