Great place to stay and so close to everything you would want to see. Stayed 3 nights at Massimos place with my 2 kids. Everything you'd want to see is about a 10 -15 min walk. And its only 2 mins away from the Arno river. There are coffee shops and grocery store located a few mins away from the apartment. The place itself was very large and great bedroom sizes and 2 bathrooms! Everything was clean and modern but geeshh those stairs to get into the apartment with luggage was a pain. But not terrible the rest of the stay. I didn't get to meet Massimo but communication through what's app was great and his wife even sent me some great suggestions for resturants. I would recommend this place for a wonderful stay on Florence.
