Just stayed at Mauritzio's apartment and had the best four days of our life in Florence! The apartment is absolutely beautiful and immaculate and stocked will everything you need for a comfortable stay. Lots of goodies in the kitchen which we were very appreciative of. There is a supermarket just down the street a little to buy any other supplies you might need. The apartment is close to a lot of Florence's attractions, especially the Duomo and the Academia to see the statue of David. It was quite warm during our stay so anything a bit further away we tended to use taxis to get to which were quite reasonable and easy to hail in the street. There was a very friendly bar/restaurant across the road which we sat outside late each afternoon for aperitivo and watched the interesting passers-by. We also ate there one night and the pasta was very good. Don't try the pizza though. Maurizio has a lot of information about Florence in the apartment and he also has a telephone hooked up with direct access to him for anything else you might need, very thoughtful! The only thing wrong was that we didn't stay longer than four days, we will be back to stay again Maurizio, and thanks to your lovely son Nicolo who met us and showed us through the apartment.
