Maria' place is mowr than perfect.
We arrived at midnight in the rain and Paula came to greeted us most warmly. The room is elegantly appointed, even more lovely than in the photos. The view from the windows are so beautiful.
This is our first time in Firenze so we were a bit worry about the location, but this place is walkable to all the major sites, didn't have to use any public transportation.
We enjoyed buying stuff to cook our breakfast at The piazza santo sprito morning market just in front of the house. The restaurants around there is good also.
Though we did not meet Maria in person, she is very attentive to our needs and questions, we are very thankful to her.
Two very small points to keep in mind though, firstly, the lift is from the first floor upward, so if you are with heavy luggages the will be about 25 steps to clim. Secondly the house facing the piazza, so it will be abit lively at night and early morning. But never too noisy, I am a light sleeper and I managed alright.
Over all, this was a six star experience. Highly recommend.
