We already liked the photo's on Airbnb. Reality was actually above all expectations. Firstly the mail contact with Maurizio was already super friendly. When we met him at Vespucci airport it was like a rendez-vous with an old friend. More friendly and helpful hosts don't exist. When you arrive, first you find a majestic entrance to the building and a lovely old fashioned open lift, a corridor to the apartment with statues, leading to a massive old wooden door. The apartment itself is a mirror of Maurizio's (and his lovely wife's) personality; very charming, comfortable, and full of little beautiful details. It makes you feel welcome and absolutely at home. Over the days we discovered that everything was thought of with love. From wifi and candles, dishwasher, microwave to welcome drinks, sweets and Nespresso cups. The luxe beds and ample space. As a starting point to explore Florence the location of the apartment cannot be better. From the window a direct view of the Duomo, and most other places of importance only a short walk away. We could not wish for anything better than this top-apartment. We cannot wait to come back to Florence and Maurizio. Thank you Maurizio, you made our little holiday unforgettable !
