Max has been the most amazing source of information since I started planning a family trip to Italy over a year ago. He has gone out of his way on multiple occasions to look up information for me about everything Italian whenever I asked and he had such good advice.
His accommodation is right next door to the Pitti palace and Baboli gardens, in one of the best residential areas of Florence, surrounded by awesome options for dining out and local hangouts for aperitivo.
The accommodation is beautifully stylish, and there is convenient facilities, such as a first aid kit, and a washing machine along with washing tablets.
Max made my youngest son's day when upon arrival, exhausted and famished (and late!) he offered him the most delicious treats to eat. Max provided a bottle of delicious wine, a bottle of water and tea and coffee.
My only regret with Max's place was that due to a ten day quarantine we only got to stay for 2 of the planned 4 days. 4 days would have been better to properly explore Florence at a comfortable pace.
The accommodation was very clean, the water pressure and temperature in the shower was amazing and although we did not get to use much of the kitchen it looked very adequate for cooking meals.
The staircase was not an issue at all, the neighbouring spots did get a little bit noisy late at night but I honestly think that is is more of a sign that we should have been out enjoying ourselves at the local spots right on our doorstep instead of exhausted in bed (4 days would have been a better choice book for 4 days)!
The area felt very safe. There was an ice cream spot at the Piazza at the end of the block which is well worth a visit, and a pizza place (Gusta pizza) very close by that it definitely a must if you are not going to Naples.
If there is availability for your dates, don't hesitate to book! I cannot recommend this accommodation enough.
