Alessandros place was very nice. It is recently renovated, and is in a perfect location, about 4 minute walk to Ponte Vecchio. The apartment is very close to all the action of Florence so it is easy to access everything. Overall the apartment is up to date, and has every thing you would need. There are some things to consider before booking. The place has a lot of antiques in it. All the furniture and decorations are antiques and therefore easily breakable. During our stay, one of our members broke the arm of the couch simply by resting his arm on it. We had to cover the cost to fix it which was $170. We were okay with paying that because we did break the chair, but to all future guests, things are fragile here and do break very easy. Also before staying, Alessandro will request you to watch some YouTube videos about the apartment. Alessandro is very up tight with things, which is rightfully so because it is obvious he has spent a lot of time and money to renovate. Overall, the place is amazing, modern, and clean. You just have to come understanding that things can break very easy and you need to be careful on all of the furniture.
