Maria Flavia and her husband run a great airbnb and experience. Our arrival was quite late and even through various obstacles like Maria travelling abroad and her husband's cellphone being stolen our host's communication was STILL perfect and prompt. We had zero issues finding their place because Maria had sent us numerous emails explaining directions, answering questions and filling us in on everything we'd need to know. Her husband was waiting to greet us to hand over the keys and do a thorough explanation of their apartment and offer several methods of communication in case we had any questions not just about the flat but Florence as well.
They just really knew how to take care of people and we felt like friends coming to visit even before we had arrived.
Maria's flat was impeccably clean and tidy and was designed in a fun, family friendly bright style that invites you to not only enjoy getting up and creating every day ready to walk around Florence but also stay in and enjoy a homemade cup of espresso.
Their kitchen was stocked and ready with all the tools needed to make your own meals of any kind, all you have to do is a shopping trip at the nearby farmers market or supermarket and you're set.
The second bedroom is on the other side of the flat about 40 feet away around corners so it's easy to not be disturbed or disturb whomever may be staying with you. We lucked in and had a super roomate to share the flat with so another sell is that Maria Flavia knows how to pick'em!
Our host's knew we had limited days to stay in Florence so they were totally available if we needed but respected our plans and schedule.
Despite this, we had a great visit with Maria's husband upon arrival but we're never able to meet Maria in person which was our fault due to lots of busy days. Regardless Maria still made us feel just as welcome :)
