Massimo's place felt like old-world Italian charm. We loved the lines of the place with high ceilings and windows, long staircase, and loft. The rooftop terrace is private and easily accessed through the apartment. The view of the Duomo is great. The bed was comfortable and the shower was pleasant. Massimo met us for check-in and was responsive to our communication. His apartment has a fantastic location. One end of his street is anchored by the plaza boasting the Uffizi Gallery and the other end of the street ends at the Duomo. Each destination is less than a five minute walk. As you walk, you will pass many shops and restaurants. The Galleria, housing the David, is a very simple and short walk from the apartment. We purchased tickets for 5:00 on a holiday weekend and found very few people in the Galleria. Massimo greeted us when we arrived and called a taxi for us when we left. It was a wonderful stay and Massimo was a great host.
