Location, location, location! This apartment is in the heart of the heart of Florence and it is amazing. Beautifully maintained and appointed, this apartment is like a dream. Max, our host has really thought of everything you will need for your stay. He is charming, friendly, kind and very knowledgeable about Florence and it's culture (best places to check out for dining and beyond). The view of the Duomo from the terrace is unreal, its so beautiful to have your espresso (yes, Max provides a wonderful espresso machine) each morning while taking in the magnificent view and sounds of magical Florence waking up. As well as in the evenings having some wine and unwinding from your day. (The bells of Giottos' bell tower are so lovely and soothing). The bells ring starting at 7am until about 9pm on the 15 minute mark, but they are not loud or annoying. The wifi is very fast also even with multiple devices connected, we streamed netflix etc with no issue. There are a fair amount of stairs to get to the apartment, so you will get your excercise! We did not mind, it helped us work through all the wonderful cuisine that awaits. Speaking of cuisine, Max is also a private chef that gives cooking classes in his spare time. We had already booked our cooking class, so sadly we did not cook with him, but absolutely will next time we visit! Thank you Max for such a wonderful stay, thank you for carrying our luggage up the stairs and for calling us a cab when we needed one and all the hospitality. Ciao for now, we will be back one day!
