There cannot be a nicer place to stay in Florence or a better host than Maurizio. First, the apartment is spectacular: it’s in a beautifully preserved Renaissance palazzo, in an amazingly convenient location, is spacious and comfortable and lovely in every detail, and equipped with everything a traveler could possibly need — there’s even a box full of converters! But even better than the fantastic apartment is the fantastic Maurizio. He not only met us at the train station and gave us a nice tour of the city, he even found us a new place to stay when I made a mistake about our departure date. If I could give him 10 stars, I would! He really is phenomenal!
