If there were 6 stars, we would give Francesca at the Palazzo Alfani all of them. She is a perfect host, the flat is spacious, right across the street from the entrance to the David. 4 Blocks from the Duomo, and close to great shopping. We loved it there.

Outstanding, highly recommended
Could not have asked for a better experience - in every way. The apartment was spacious and clean and in a brilliant location close to all the sights and landmarks. Our host Francesca was on hand if needed from start to finish, including the booking of transport to/from the airport. Overall, it was outstanding.

xcellent stay — perfect location and spotless apartment
We truly enjoyed our stay at Palazzo Alfani al David. The apartment was spacious, very clean, and had a full kitchen that made it easy to cook or have breakfast before heading out. The location could not be better — just a few blocks from the main attractions, restaurants, and shops, yet quiet enough to relax at night. Everything we needed was provided, and the host was kind and helpful throughout our stay. We were completely satisfied and would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Florence!
The apartment was beautiful and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.
