I would recommend staying at Maurizio’s 100%. The house was great, the room was very spacious and the bathroom was recently refurbished. The room doesn’t have AC (it does have a fan) but even during summer I don’t think it was needed, nights were very cool in this neighborhood (even during summer). If you understand Italian, you’ll love talking to Maurizio to learn so much about Florence and its history. It’s a short walk from the center (30min-ish), the neighborhood felt safe and traditionally Italian, great for a stroll. Check out Casa Paloma restaurant 5min away from the house. I will definitely stay here again when I visit next time. 10/10
