Our stay at Michelangelo's "love nest" apartment was one of the highlights during our recent visit to Firenze.

Michelangelo was a lovely host. He welcomed us upon arrival, explained everything we needed to know about the apartment and recommended a few local shops and restaurants to help make our stay more enjoyable.

The apartment is extremely well situated and close to everything. It less than a 15 minute walk from the train station, 5 minute leisurely stroll to L'Accademia, 10 minutes to the Duomo, and 15 minutes to Uffizi. There are a number of mini-markets/convenience stores around the corner where you can stock up on water, wine and groceries. Plenty of bakeries and cafes nearby as well. The building has a tiny elevator (lift) that fits two people and just enough room to get two suitcases up to the top floor. Inside, the apartment is exactly as it is represented in the photos. Spacious, yet cozy. There is air conditioning in both the living area and the bedroom, which was a welcome relief from the 39 degree summer heat. Being on the top floor and facing away from the street ensures a quiet, peaceful sleep and morning/evening relaxation. Without a doubt, the jewel in this crown is the terrace with a stunning unobstructed view of the roofs of Firenze and The Duomo. Lingering on the terrace over a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine was one of the most memorable experiences of our stay in Firenze – and at this wonderful apartment. Do yourself a favour – book this place without hesitation! We cannot wait to return.
