Maria's place is as advertised - there were no surprises when we received and toured the apartment. It is very clean with modern amenities, more so than your average Italian apartment. The location is great - you have easy access to all you need without being stuck in an over-touristy location. The apartment is plenty quiet and within minutes of the apartment you have coffee, drinks, groceries and no shortage of places to eat. I'd happily recommend this apartment to friends and family.
