The apartment was very lovely. It is exactly as how it is photographed. It is extremely spacious with lots of natural light. Massimo is very accommodating and while we didn't need to contact him he was always accessible. While Florence isn't a big City, the apartment is a bit of a walk from the center, about 10 minutes to Mercato Centrale and 15-20 minutes to the Duomo (depending) on how busy the streets are and how fast your pace is. There isn't much nearby, 2-3 restaurants and 1 pharmacy, no market we could see, but Massimo provided food in the cabinets in case you needed it. Given what we paid it was a good booking, if your looking for beautiful, clean, and spacious this is a good apartment, but if your looking to step out your door and be in the action get a spot closer into town.
