Maurizio is a fantastic host, truly! He met us at the train station and dragged my 70-pound suitcase through the sweltering, busy streets of Florence to the apartment. The place is great ... very modern and updated. It's small but has everything you need (including a two-in-one washer/dryer). There were so many little touches, like prosecco for us (we're honeymooning), breakfast for the next morning, milk/juice/water in the fridge, etc. Maurizio went above and beyond throughout our stay, offering suggestions on shopping, dining, etc., and accommodating our departure schedule when he certainly was not obligated to do so. The location is literally step from the Duomo, and the tower bells chime every morning for a richer Florence experience. :) Good location close to restaurants and shops, nice amenities.
