Alessandro was a friendly, welcoming host. He spent a lot of time explaining us thoroughly everything that had to do with the flat, as well as provided us with a lot of super useful tips and suggestions on where to eat and additional places to visit. The room was very spacious, everything was clean and the flat was well equipped with towels, extra blankets and pillows, an individual bathroom rug, etc. Location is perfect especially if one wants to be in between Florence city centre and the beautiful nearby Fiesole. During week days the bus connecting Alessandro's place to the city centre runs around every 10-15 minutes, and it will not take you longer than 15 minutes to get from Florence central station (Santa Maria Novella) to Alessandro's. During the week-end a bit of extra planning may be required, as buses become less frequent. Overall, this was an excellent experience and I would recommend it 120%!!
