Alessandra's place was a wonderful stay for us in Florence. She is a great host and was able to meet us right when we arrived. She was helpful in providing information on where to eat, what to see, how to get around etc. Her house is charming and has everything you need. It is a short walk to most places you would want to check out. My husband and I did not use transit even once! It is also close to a Piazza Pitti which has some amazing restaurants. We would definitely stay there again.
