We stayed in Maurizio's apartment for my boyfriend's birthday weekend. The place was absolutely perfect! Everything was neat and tidy when we arrived, and there was food in the fridge so we didn't have to rush out to the shop. Maurizio is extremely helpful and generous and we really felt we were experiencing the famous Italian hospitality first hand. The local area is perfect, away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist attractions, but still only a few minutes from the city centre. The Santo Spirito/ oltrarno location feels like somewhere people actually live, rather than a bunch of hotels. There is a little restaurant a few doors down which is very handy. The flat has everything you could need. Clean towels, nice sheets, plenty of hangers to hang your clothes on - and Maurizio left shampoo and body wash in the shower which was a very nice touch. This is a very special place - a little gem in a fabulous location. We will definitely be going back! Grazie mille, Maurizio! Alla prossima volta :)
