My family and I just returned from Florence and if you are traveling there any time soon I highly recommend staying at Maurizio's wonderful apartment! It is in the Santa Croce area which is so perfect and one of my favorite. The apartment is on the forth floor (however there is no lift, so you need to use your leg muscles) but it is worth the climb! The minute you open the door you will find yourself in a beautiful, sparkling clean, modern and comfortable space to relax after a long day of exploring an amazing city! Maurizio was a wonderful host and graciously left us a lovely bottle of wine to welcome us as well as a booklet full of tips and suggestions for us. Trust me, you will not be disappointed in your stay choice. Grazie Mille Maurizio for your hospitality!!
