- Maurizio greeted us the moment we stepped out of our taxi upon reaching Florence. We did not know what to expect as it was our first time in Italy, in wet and rainy Florence.
- Upon seeing we had quite a fair bit of luggage’s as we were travelling from Spain and onwards to Italy — making Florence our first stop, Maurizio very nicely volunteered to carry our luggage’s (especially the heavy ones) up the flight of stairs to the apartment. We were very touched by his gesture.
- The flight of stairs leading up to the apartment was quite steep and slightly slippery. Note that as we were not equipped with the knowledge earlier that there are absolutely no lifts in the downtown area of Florence — this is to preserve the historical architecture of the buildings. We were quite dumbfounded to find that our apartment is on the 5th floor. Indeed, Maurizio’s help was very much needed as my dad was the only guy travelling with us.
- Maurizio showed us around the apartment and was very accommodating towards us. Knowing that we needed help roaming around Italy, Maurizio patiently explained to us the various places we could go to visit and even directed us to a few well known places around the area. Thank you Maurizio, you have been very helpful throughout our stay in Florence.
- The apartment is cozy and relatively quiet despite it being in the downtown area. As there were 4 of us, we had 2 bedrooms to ourselves and managed to comfortably catch up on our sleep. A simple and comfortable stay — with the toilet brightly lit and the kitchen easily useable too.
- It was a comfortable short 2 night stay for me and my family and Maurizio was very helpful towards us too. Except for the stairs — not recommended for families with elderly, we don’t have anything negative to comment on the apartment. Thank you Maurizio for welcoming us with open arms and being helpful to us throughout our stay. Florence is beautiful!
