Alessandro was an excellent host to us and gave us excellent suggestions and answers to all of our questions. He even went to far as to offer to make reservations for us when we wanted to try the Florentine steak. His communication was clear and he replied quickly.
The apartment was spacious, well-lit, and had everything you could want including full dishes, soap, paper towels, etc. It has a washer though we couldn't get it to work but that wasn't a big deal since there's a great laundromat just 2 blocks away.
The location is far enough away from the center so that it's quiet but still an easy walk to the mercator and Duomo area. Tons of great cafes for breakfast.
The only negative I could think of is that the shower is the 'phone booth' style that I'm not used to as an American and one of the doors was missing so place a towel on the floor to catch any splashes. An easy fix and not a big deal.
All in all, a great value and experience.
