We had a delightful week long stay at Mauro's Santa Croce apartment. The apartment had old Florence charm with beamed ceilings and views onto the Basilica, with modern comforts. The apartment worked very well for our family of 4 (us and our early 20's kids) with room to spare. The second bathroom was a real plus! The apartment was clean and nicely equipped. We were greeted punctually by Mauro's parents (former residents of this apartment) who welcomed us and fully oriented us to the space. The location was perfect, right in the center of town yet quiet. We were always happy to return each day after a full day of sightseeing. A wonderful place to which I hope we return some day!
