We had a lovely stay in Florence at Massimiliano's place. He was very friendly, helpful and approachable for any questions we had about the area. Just as a tip, when I put the address of the apartment into Google maps it appeared further down the road (via Senese) than it actually was. This is just something to double check and when we contacted Massimiliano he was happy to clarify. Just to be clear this was an issue with maps not with the apartment. I would thoroughly recommend this as a place to stay if you want to visit Florence.
