I really enjoyed my stay at Maurizio's. I think the area was really nice and there were some good places to eat nearby. The bus gets you into central Florence quickly although it's less regular at the weekends (Sunday especially). I'd say it takes about half an hour to walk. Maurizio's place was very clean and I enjoyed the slight variations on the breakfast each morning. Maurizio was very friendly and welcoming, accommodating with the check-in time, and he shared lots of great information and tips for things to do in Florence. I would definitely come back and stay here again.
