Maurizio was a fantastic host! My travel plans kept changing and so I switched the length of my stay and he was very accommodating. I also arrived late at night on the first day of my stay and he was kindly waiting outside to let me in. Maurizio knows a little English and I know next to no Italian but we were still able to communicate through the assistance of translation apps. Maurizio is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to art and the history of Florence and he provided me with a map to explore the area. Yes his home is not in the center of everything but it didn’t prove to be a problem for me. I took the bus once but most of the time I just walked, it’s a great way to explore Florence! Thank you for everything Maurizio!
