We really enjoyed our stay at Maria's. The location is terrific, especially if you are coming in from the train station. It is an easy walk (with your bags) and you are still in the heart of Florence. you have an easy walk to the great attractions and there are a few really great restaurants within blocks. The apartment is super clean, recently updated and we loved staying in the cozy loft. My wife and I kept saying how much we loved the place everyday. We can't wait to come back!
