Massimo's place was the most stylish and well-appointed I have been in so far with AirBnB. He and his architects did a great job reconfiguring this duplex space, fitting it out and furnishing it. The space is beautifully spacious and airy. The fridge was well stocked for my arrival, including a bottle of wine, much appreciated. Massimo was extremely helpful and provided lots of useful tips, particularly for restaurants -- I have been to Florence often but did not know this area that well. A good range of stores, supermarkets and restaurants within close walking distance and a short walk to the Piazza San Marco. Tram T1 to the railway station and beyond and plenty of buses to various destinations from Piazza della Libertà. Most Florence visitors are tourists, but I was there for a one-month academic stay and the only slight drawback at Massimo's place was the absence of real writing desk. But I couldn't myself figure out where he could have placed one in his carefully laid out space and this turned out to be a minor detail compared to all the other benefits and satisfactions this apartment has to offer. Highly recommended indeed.
