I can wholeheartedly recommend Marias apartment to anyone interested in exploring Florence. Maria was very welcoming and thorough in explaining the way to access the apartment and even cleared her own garage to park our motorcycles. The flat itself is a little bit older but has anything necessary for staying a few days in Florence. Light sleepers should be weary though, the bedroom is oriented towards a busy street and some may percieve the noise as problematic, but we had no issues with closed windows. Its roughly 15 minute on foot to the city center and a super market is located 8 minutes away.
