We had such a fabulous stay at Max's apartment and the location was incredibly central and with the most amazing view of the duomo. There was a lovely welcome basket there too.
The apartment itself was clean and warm and had everything we needed. The iPad is fantastic to have there as the tv just has news channels. However we did stay for 8 nights so anyone there for a shorter trip wouldn't really have many nights in I'm sure and otherwise the flat was well stocked with Florence guides to read. We had some issues initially with the wifi but Max was communicative and lovely about it and once we sorted it all out the connection was very strong and we had no more problems. Max also gave us some recommendations for local events which was very helpful. The only tiny thing I would say is that an apartment manual would have been helpful, ie, instructions re coffee machine, rubbish, wifi, tv etc. However we did get an excellent tour of the apartment when we arrived and certainly we didn't take long to figure it all out. Really a wonderful place to stay. I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Florence!
We would return to Max's apartment in a flash and still think longingly of the amazing roof terrace with the spectacular view. Thanks again!
