Our visit to Florence happened to coincide with a very intense heat wave and this apartment was a very nice place to relax, cook meals, and decompress after hours of walking around the city in the heat. The air conditioning was a great amenity to have during this time and the open floor plan was really great for allowing the air to move around. The place is about a 30 minute walk from the city center and a taxi one-way was about 11 euro. We didn't mind walking the extra distance and enjoyed the more quiet neighborhood in the evenings. Maurizio also helped to provide us with a street where we could park our rental car for free not too far away. Great place to stay!
