Maurizio's place is situated in a perfect location, away from the touristy areas and in a quaint and quiet part of town. There's a grocery store down the block as well as a number places to eat. Maurizio was a very gracious host, meeting us at the apartment, showing us around, and giving us some local tips. The apartment is neatly decorated in the Tuscan style and seems more spacious in person. It was warm when we stayed, and although there is no air conditioning, the apartment stays relatively cool with the fans provided, especially at night. Overall, an excellent place to stay in Florence.
