Overall great stay, great location, and perfect for my family of 4. Outdoor area is FABULOUS!
Two minor notes that were not the fault of Maurizio but guests of his should be aware:
Central heating- Florence has city ordinances that limit the use of energy. This means the landlord of the building controls heating. Some evenings we were perfectly warm and others we were very cold. Maurizio mentions this upon entering the apartment so we were fully aware just not fully prepared.
Drying Clothes- The provided washer in the apartment works perfectly! But, it rained the entirety of our stay so the apartment stayed somewhat damp and so did our clothes. We ended up taking them to a laundromat around the corner, 1 euro and they were dry in <15 minutes. Not a big deal as we have been traveling for weeks and are no strangers to damp clothes. If you come during cold/rainy season (obviously) your laundry may take longer than usual to dry.
Do not hesitate to book this place! We loved it. GRAZIE!
