Our family of four just spent three nights at the Maccheroni apartment. The apartment is generously sized and in an unparalleled location. The apartment is steps away from the Duomo and within walking distance of all the major attractions in Florence. There are countless shops and restaurants nearby. Should you opt to buy food and cook for yourself, Pegna is just up the street and there are a couple of Carrefour Expresses nearby. The wifi works impeccably. Massimo was wonderful to meet and provided great suggestions on places to see. If you visit during the summer, you can take satisfaction in knowing that the apartment has the best air conditioning system in Italy! We were able to cool off from the 35 C temperatures every day with the apartment's Arctic level air conditioning. While the apartment isn't well sound proofed, it is remarkably quiet at night. The only criticisms I have are that the shower is rather small and the water temperature is a bit tricky to control. But, these are minor inconveniences, which should not prevent anyone from staying at this thoroughly enjoyable place.
