We had a wonderful stay at Maria's studio apartment. It was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed along with being on the doorstep of the shops, cafes and grocery shops. Maria's husband met us outside with the key and explained everything to us as well as suggesting many places to visit and eat. He also offered to store our luggage after we checked out on the last day if we wished to spend more time in Florence. While there was no washer in the apartment, there is a laundromat directly across the street which we did use. If we ever return to Florence we would definitely stay here again and recommend it to any couple wanting to stay in the heart of Florence!
