We had a great time at Massimo's "The Nest" in Florence. Massimo is very friendly and accomodating, and always gave us excellent and straightforward communication. Massimo met us and explained everything about the area and the apartment in detail. Everything in the apartment is exactly as represented. The kitchen is quite functional with some items stocked for your use. Massimo also left us plenty of fresh fruit and a cake as well! There is a small (very) clothes washer that came in handy, no dryer but heaters in the bedroom and kitchen came in handy for that. The apartment is quite spacious, comfortable quiet, secure and accessible. The patio areas are very nice and private, unfortunately we did not get a chance to use them as the weather was a bit cold and rainy when we were there. It is also very close to a great cafe, Cafe Liberta, for coffee and breakfast, and also to Gastronomica Galanti, for eat in or take out, speak with Andrea Galanti, he'll be really helpful. The apartment is very well located and easy to get to from the train station as Massimo says, you just need to have your bearings. The neighborhood is quiet, and close enough to the Center City to walk but separate enough to be apart from the hectic and often noisy Center City. The free and very secure parking in the gated area behind the building is a great plus! Thank you for everything Massimo!
