This was a terrific place to stay! Mauro was easy to work with as we arranged for their flat in Florence, and it was his father, Guiliano who greeted us at the apartment and went over the details for staying there. The apartment is very welcoming and attractive and we (two couples) felt as if we were coming home. It was well equipped with everything from kitchen supplies to Wi-Fi. They even had a plate of fresh fruit and a bottle of wine for us. Guiliano was delightful and filled us in on nearby restaurants, markets, sites of interest, transportation and even had a notebook with names, addresses of places and restaurants to visit.

The flat is located centrally just across the street from Santa Croce Cathedral and square , an easy 15 minute walk to the Duomo and 10 minutes to the Uffizi Gallery. Buses run nearby making the city easy to navigate and get around in.

We all agreed that we would return to Florence and this particular apartment in a heartbeat. Guiliano even called us a cab when it was time to go. Thanks, Guiliano and Mauro for this great place, our home away from home.
