Maurizio is a very gracious host, he meant us at the rail station and accompanied us back to the apartment pointing out numerous sights on our walk. He spent the time to provide us a good introduction to the apartment and provided us with lots of welcoming treats including wine, nuts, breakfast snacks and candies. The location was ideal for us just a few hundred feet from the Duomo, yet it was very quiet. It was easy to get to almost anywhere in Florence either by foot or by bus from the apartment. The apartment was very clean, there were all the utensils necessary to prepare meals if you decide to eat in, the bed was very comfortable and the shower had plenty of hot water with good water pressure and finally the wifi worked very well.
We have been traveling for eight months in Europe and the UK and this was one of the nicest stays we have had.
