Maria Terese , She is the best host I’ve ever encountered. I couldn’t thank her enough for her effort , thoughtfulness and caring throughout my one month stay . She went out of her way to assist me in anyway she could . She stayed constant in touch with me , she made sure everything is to my needs . There were minor issues at the beginning , I reported to her , she resolved them immediately . Her apartment is very clean , tastefully furnished , it’s in an historical building . The apartment is located in one minute walking distance from the central market , it’s a paradise for foodies , only 5 minutes walking distance from the main central railway station , that is absolutely essential if people make Florence as their base point . In any case if you stay at Maria’s place , for sure you don’t need a car .
I would also like to thank Maria’s two teenage children Francisca and Nicole for helping me carry the heavy luggage to the apartment . They are sweet and well mannered . I had the pleasure meeting her husband Pedro , the whole family made me feel so welcome . Meeting Maria and her family was the highlight of my visit to Florence , I would return there anytime.
Best wishes to Maria and her family for 2019 !
