This apartment is absolutely perfect, and Maria is wonderful. My friend and I stayed in the apartment for the month of August and thank goodness for the air conditioning. We were met at the door, the communication was impeccable as was the apartment. I looked forward to returning back to it after every outing. I went with a friend and slept in the smaller room, but it was as comfortable the larger. The neighborhood is wonderful and convenient for everywhere in central Florence by foot. It is even an easy walk to the Santa Maria Novella train station. Staying here brought me great joy. Unfortunately, I had to leave ten days early, but my friend enjoyed it alone for the final days. I miss the apartment and the city, and will definitely stay here the next time I visit Florence.
