Had a great time staying at Alessandro and Azadeh's apartment for 5 nights. The location was incredible, cheap taxi ride from Santa Maria Novella as we had two big suitcases. Everything you need to see in Florence is within walking distance, and the Duomo is a magnificent sight from the balcony. We were thankful for the air conditioning during our stay as it was over 37 degrees every day we were there. On arrival they welcomed us warmly with iced water and a multitude of advice from where the landmarks are to what grocery stores to shop at, very helpful! They were even kind enough to book us a taxi for 8am on our last day as we had an early train to Venice. Overall I cannot fault anything from our stay, we would definitely stay here again on return to Florence!
