I needed a place to stay at the end of my study abroad session. Maria’s apartment was a perfect choice for me because it is within walking distance to all the major landmarks in the city, such as the Santa Croce, il Duomo, the Uffizi Gallery, and the bridges that will take you across the Arno River to the other side of Florence. Being so close to these locations, Maria’s apartment is at a much more affordable price that the hotels you’ll see in Florence. You can’t beat this option because you get to stay in Maria’s beautiful apartment with an affordable price along with her thoughtful hospitality that contributes to the wonderful experience of your stay in Florence.
