Maurizio and Barbara were LOVELY hosts- Maurizio met us swiftly at the cafe around the corner from the apartment as we didn't have a phone, but were able to Skype Barbara from my computer. The apartment is BEAUTIFUL and COOL- we were so thankful for the air conditioning as it was really hot the 4 days we were in Florence. We were greeted with a rose and a bottle of Chianti upon our arrival wishing us a lovely honeymoon....how amazingly sweet :). Everything you need is in the apartment- comfy bed, fully equipped kitchen, beautiful bathroom with a huge shower...I could go on. The neighbourhood is eclectic, interesting and not touristy (in a good way) and a 5-10 min. walk to the centre of Florence. It's also near an amazing restaurant called Benedicta and near the river and everything that you want to see when visiting Florence. We hope we can come back!!
