Massimo's apartment was very convenient for us because of its secure, private parking space. It was also in walking distance to the Duomo (about 15 mins leisurely). We enjoyed using the kitchen for small meals at home and Massimo left out juices and fruits for us. There were also fresh herbs on the patio to cook with, which was fantastic! The apartment is in a quiet location and had strong internet/WiFi which we loved. massimo also has a binder with house rules and recommendations for sights/restaurants. I think every Airbnb host should learn from Massimo and provide the same!
One drawback was the bathroom was very tight and small, and i'm a petite gal, so it could be a challenge for grown men to use! We also had an issue with the shower being clogged and flooded but plunged it which seemed to fix it.
Many thanks, Massimo and Barbara, for your hospitality, help, and flexibility when we arrived late due to traffic. I'm so glad I could enjoy Florence with your help!
