Our experience at Maria Laura's place was exactly what we were looking for. The apartment has an excellent location, great price, and it is literally at the Mercato Centrale and, if you walk, the Duomo is less than 10 min away. When we went, Maria Laura was not there, but her friend Jari was there and he did a great job. As for the check out, they were very lineant. They let us leave a little later from the specified check-out time. Great apartment, great location, great host. We loved it!
