This place is simply perfect. Had I have known, we would have planned a longer stay in Florence and had time to settle in at Max's. The design, look, and attention to detail is impeccable. The view from the balcony and windows is breathtaking. And Max and his father were very gracious and helpful hosts, even helping schlep our luggage (we came with way too much) up and down the stairs of their place. (Only warning: Do not come with a car!) This was my first introduction to Florence, and it will be very hard to match when I return.
