Maria was a great host as she was quick to respond to any inquiries and had a welcome package waiting for us upon arrival. The apartment is nicely decorated and feels like home! Walkability is great to sights such as Duomo and Ponte Vecchio, I would just err on the side of caution if you are a light sleeper - the apartment is located on street level and made sleeping very difficult. The pedestrian, car and Vespa noise was nonstop throughout the night.
