We loved everything about our stay at Maurizio's apartment. The area is delightful. A little off the main tourist area but still fabulously convenient (just 10 minutes to the Ponte Vecchio, around 5-mins stroll to the Boboli Gardens and 25-mins to the main train and bus stations for a few day trips). We walked everywhere with ease.
The apartment is well-equipped and had everything we needed (including fast wifi if you still need to do some work or entertain kids). The supermarket at the end of the road is another bonus.
Maurizio is a generous and considerate host too. We arrived late afternoon to find the fridge stocked with some welcome essentials so we could relax straight away.
We couldn't have been more pleased with the apartment or the area which made our stay in Florence so memorable.
Highly recommended - and then some.
