Matteo was a fantastic co-host, and the apartment's location is exceptional - right in the heart of the city center with a friendly neighborhood and no more than an easy 5-minute walk to all of the local & historical sites. The apartment was grand - VERY spacious, LOTS of natural light, sweeping third-story views down the city streets, and room to spread out and enjoy the sites and sounds of the city. Matteo anticipated any need we had before we ever had to ask, and we are very grateful that he helped to make the Florence portion of our family of 4's Italian vacation so easy and care-free. I highly recommend this apartment! Should we find ourselves back in Florence again in the future, we would definitely stay here again.
