Modern apartment in fantastic location, with excellent view. Max was a superb host, meeting us at the apartment and leaving a welcome box full of goodies such as wine, salami etc. He also booked a restaurant for us on Christmas Eve and gave us the names of some good retaurants/ wine bars to visit.

The apartment has excellent wi fi speed, and the apartment comes with iPad, guitar, satellite tv etc. Definitely big enough for the 4 of us.

The main rooms within the apartment ( living room, master bed, kitchen) were spotless. The only downside was the main shower wasn't very clean (moldy which I ended up cleaning), and we found the upstairs bedroom room to be not as clean as the rest of the place. The second bathroom was very small so we all used the main bathroom.

As keen cooks, we spent Christmas at the apartment and cooked a roast with produce purchased from the Mercarto Centrale. The kitchen had a huge range or plates, cups, serving dishes, table cloths etc which was nice. We found the kitchen does need sharper cutting knives, another cutting board, kettle and toaster.

The apartment is on the top floor which didn't bother me, but this may be a consideration for older people who find it difficult walking up many flights of stairs.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Max's apartment, and will stay here again next time in Florence.
