We were please with our stay at Ciro Maestro. Our host was very responsive to all communications and was very available to us both at check in and through the week. We enjoyed the view from the apartment and the location was perfect for all the things we usually do in Florence. We have stayed at other locations, more toward the train station, more to the edge of the major old town center and although somewhat quieter they did involve more of a walk to the activities that we enjoy. The bathroom is somewhat cramped but adequate. We like to water color paint and the apartment had good light and space for that. The only negative was a rather strong odor in the hall when getting on the elevator but it didn't penetrate to the room. The large refrigerator with a freezer was good for us because we Americans like our ice. The big wine glasses were a plus as was the nice touch of the treats of wine and pastries at the beginning of our visit. Also having the basics like salt, flour and coffee etc was much welcomed. The internet worked well and was as fast or faster than many we have used. The apartment is a good value for the location and space. We heard the street noise but didn't mind it.
