Maximo was very welcoming and helpful with lots of information on Florence, thank you! His apartment is a "home", very nicely decorated with a good sized bedroom and a comfortable double bed, a large lounge/kitchen area with a sofa bed and a massive TV. The lovely balcony have views of the city and the hills beyond, nearby is the very recently build opera house, a modern building within the almost deactivated train station. The place is very quiet, the building is modern and build with quality, truly useful is the underground garage where our rental car was parked securely and away from the August heat. We walked to the centre of Florence, it takes about 20 minutes to main area, it's a stroll that we done along the river. We truly enjoyed our stay!
