Matteo is absolutely wonderful! He graciously offered to pick us up from the train station and drove us to the apartment. He provided an energetic tour of his GORGEOUS apartment. The decor is modern, beautiful, and amazing. We took notes on the many beautiful features for our future dream home! :) Matteo provided a bottle of wine and a cold pitcher of water on the table for our arrival. He also provided a basket full of breads and croissants as well as some jams, butter and coffee. The kitchen is beautiful and well stocked. The appliances are updated and the kitchen opens up to a beautiful porch that looks over a courtyard. The apartment includes a washer and clothes drying lines off the side of the porch. The apartment also includes 2 bicycles which we enjoyed taking into a town a couple days as well as a modern flat screen TV. One notable feature is that the bed is lofted. We loved it and it is next to a window which you can open to regulate the temperature. The apartment also includes a portable fan and a large modern closet space. Matteo was available by phone each day and even checked in to see how our stay was. We asked him for many suggestions and he provided thoughtful answers to them all (there were many!). The apartment is centrally located and is an easy bike or walk to grocery stores or city center. We had the pleasure of meeting Matteo's wife as well and they are both amazing people. With Matteo's guidance and home on our side, we felt like real fio(SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN)! We hope to come back to Florence as soon as possible and stay in Matteo's dreamy apartment
