Maurizio could not have been a nicer host for our 3 night stay in Florence. He met us very promptly and helped us carry bags up the several flights of stairs. The location could not be any better for seeing the sites by foot. We did not realize that the street was “famous” for food (a popular sandwich spot) and even a movie shooting occurred directly outside of our door in our short stay.
The apartment was newly renovated and the finishes are very nice. Maurizio offered a nice bottle of Chardonnay as a gift, which was wonderful. The kitchen offered what we needed for breakfast preparation (even complimentary coffee) - we ate out every lunch and dinner at wonderful restaurants.
We stayed Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. The first two nights were very quiet - but Saturday night was very loud due to other guests in the building at midnight and 3am yelling and slamming the hallway gate. This is no fault of the host but I’ve seen other guests comment on weekend noise.
The beds are very firm and the platforms are a bit shaky when moving during the night.
The space is nice - the unit offers a lot of storage space for clothing and the bathroom has space to store things as well (which is not what we are finding in other Europe bathrooms). We were able to do laundry and hang to dry on sunny days.
Maurizio called us an early morning departure taxi that arrived promptly and finished off our stay perfectly. Grazie, Maurizio!!
