Massimo's apartment is in a great location in Florence. We enjoyed the space and thought it was very stylish and clean. We really enjoyed the bottle of wine provided by Massimo and the washer and dryer combo. Everything is updated and looks beautiful.
Upon arrival in Florence, it was pouring rain. Massimo was able to check us in early but the room was not clean (cleaner was delayed due to rain). He assured us it would be ready at 3pm. We returned at 5:15pm and a man was still in the apartment cleaning.
Also, the building is currently undergoing renovations to the outside facade. The front of the apartment is covered in scaffolding, as well as the side of the building that the apartment windows look out to. When we stayed in this apartment, there was no view out of the windows in the apartment due to the scaffolding. In addition, the building was being worked on by workers during the day. They were directly outside our windows working on the building. We were never woken up by the workers in the morning.
Regardless of the construction, I still recommend the apartment. Massimo communicated very efficiently and the location and quality of the apartment was the best we experienced in Italy. I just wish we were made aware of the construction prior to arrival.
