We very much enjoyed our stay at Mauro and Ellen's place. The apartment and garden were as fabulous as we hoped they would be and the situation was perfect, only 15 minutes walk from the main attractions. We ate at the restaurant next door which was very good and which offered a discount to guests in the apartment. We climbed the steps to Piazzale Michelangelo to see the sunset, the views are stunning but everyone else has also had the same idea so it's a bit crowded. We went again during the day when it was less crowded and took in the view while sipping a glass of wine which was lovely.
We would happily book again and would recommend to anyone else visiting Firenze.
