It has been such a pleasure. From the time of inquiry to departing. Mauri and his father Guliano have been so helpful and kind.They were really wonderful hosts. Guliano made us feel so welcomed and comfortable; he was carring our luggages up to the apartment. Wine and fruit were prepared for us. Stored our luggages cause we departed late on check out day, called taxi. We were just so well cared for.The apartment is beautifully-decorated, spacious, full of character and with all the amenities we could ever have asked for. The location is truly ideal--10 to 20 mins to most major sites and excellent restaurants and cafe downstairs. The neighorhood is lovely, close to a market that you can buy fruit and vegetables, mingle with the locals. It truly felt like home away from home.in Florence. We feel very blessed that we picked this apartment and it was available. I recommend this apartment and this host to anyone in a heart beat. Thank you Guliano and family for all your kindness, I hope to see you again.
