Absolute highlight of our trip to Italy was staying at Matteo's place. This apartment is SPECIAL. Amazing views, clean and stylish, has all the essentials including laundry. Matteo is warm, welcoming and clearly takes a great deal of care with his properties. He welcomed us directly, gave us a tour and explained all we needed, included a great local guide and tips on where to eat, what to do, etc. (His recommendations were DELICIOUS and every place had such nice staff!) His place is relaxing and in the absolute heart of Florence which made our anniversary trip so special and relaxing since everything is within walking distance (or bikes since Florence has a great shared bike program!). The breathtaking views are reason enough to stay here but Matteo made it extra special and went out of his way to make sure we were well taken care of including arranging transportation for us from the airport since the place is a bit tricky and taxi drivers don't always speak great english. To top it off, he surprised us with a bottle of wine in honor of our anniversary! We were so touched! Don't hesitate to book if you are considering. Do note that there are quite a few stairs. Didn't bother us at all but in case it's an issue, it is a beautiful and well taken care of historical building so no lift. My compliments can't be higher and I wish we could have stayed longer but hope to return. Thanks Matteo!
