Mattia kindly helped us have an early check-in by organising his lovely mother to meet us at the apartment. This apartment is exactly as pictured, in fact seems even nicer in reality. The apartment is like new throughout and has everything you need - and a lovely shower! It is in a fantastic location for exploring Florence’s major attractions by foot, such as the Galleria Dell Academia (Statue of David) the Cathedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, the Markets, and great shopping among many other sights and attractions. With the windows open there is a bit of street noise as can be expected by the great location, but the apartment has double-glazed windows and we had no noise issues. We would definitely like to stay in Mattia's apartment again should we return to beautiful Florence.
