My boyfriend and I stayed in Massimiliano’s studio for 3 nights in the end of May. Massimiliano was very quick to respond to our questions both pre-trip and during our stay. He was very punctual with check-in and check-out times, and was flexible as well. He sat down with us and gave us a very detailed map and circled places of interest; it was helpful. He also had some cold water and cookies available for us at check in which was great as it was a hot day in Florence. He is a great host. Overall, his place was very clean and very welcoming. It was quiet at night. The skylight above the bed has a cover so you don’t have to worry about the light in the morning.
Overall, we would recommend staying here. Great place for 2 people. Florence is very walkable in our opinion, so we just walked everywhere. Plenty of places to eat/drink within walking distance. We loved the pastries/dessert at Finisterrae and it’s only 5 minutes away :) The farthest places of interest for us were Piazzale Michelangelo and Mercato Central; each about a 20/25 minute walk (not bad).
