Mattia’s place was wonderful! With a comfortable living room and the terrace and rooftop, the apartment had a great balance of private space and gathering space. The terrace on the main level of the apartment was a feature we particularly enjoyed during a post-Christmas week that was much warmer than normal. It was lovely to be able to sit outside for breakfast and watch life on the piazza, and to be able to bring the new year in with a glass of Prosecco and what felt like a front seat at the fireworks that night. Inside the apartment, the beds were comfortable, the 1.5 baths were enough for a family of 4, the kitchen was well-equipped, and the space was bright and airy. The location was great, and we worked off all the calories we consumed at Florence’s amazing restaurants by climbing the stairs to the apartment every day. Last, we want to thank Mattia and Teona for being so hospitable and responsive — Grazie mille!
