Maurizio was truly an exceptional host who was very thoughtful and accommodating! I traveled with my mother and sister to visit my daughter who is studying abroad in Florence. Maurizio was kind enough to pick us up at the airport and even pointed out some important landmarks on our way to the apartment. The apartment itself was absolutely beautiful, very clean, and conveniently located to many of the sites in Florence. Maurizio took the time to show us around the apartment and explain all of the amenities. He also provided a booklet with instructions and helpful tips, maps, and lots of books with information about Firenze. He truly took a lot of time to provide everything a traveler might need and/ or want from travel adapters and chargers to espresso, wine, and snacks . I cannot speak highly enough of Maurizio or his beautiful apartment! We felt very welcome and comfortable during our stay in Firenze thanks to Maurizio. I would highly recommend this listing to anyone and hope to return myself someday.
