Max welcomed us as soon as we got to the apartment and graciously showed us around. The apartment provided more than enough space for 9 of us. The location was perfectly located to the attractions we wanted to see, as well as the train station, but far enough away that there was minimal noise at night. The big kitchen and dining room table were the perfect size for my mother-in-law to cook dinner one of the evenings. Max also recommended a perfect steakhouse/Italian restaurant that we would have visited more than once if we had the time. He was very friendly and responsive and the apartment was very clean. If my husband and I make our way back to Florence, we will be looking up Max for a place to stay.
