THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! My husband and I stayed a few days at Maria's place this week and cannot say enough good things about it. The apartment is in an amazing location, just a short walk away from amazing vintage shops, high end shopping, amazing restaurants and only about a 7 minute walk from the train station. Maria was extremely quick to respond upon our arrival and met us right on time. The apartment is stunningly beautiful with large windows that open up to a view of the dome. We had the windows open for a while just to take in the view! The fireplace makes the space so cozy and the apartment was so clean and bright. The bed was extremely comfortable and there was a small little closet for storage upstairs if needed. The bathroom had all of the amenities we needed and the shower had great water pressure and plenty of hot water. There were plenty of cooking utensils as well and a coffee and tea maker. If you are between places in Florence, CHOOSE THIS ONE. You absolutely will not be disappointed. Maria was so kind, let us add an extra night, gave us a late check out and had a bottle of wine waiting for us upon arrival. The positives about this place are truly never ending from the apartment itself to how gracious Maria is as a host. Thank you again, Maria! We will absolutely be back!
