My husband and I had a great stay at Maria's place! The apartment is perfectly located right in the heart of Florence, and was a short walk to everything. The bistro at the corner is great for dinner, and we had coffee almost every morning right across the street. We were also happy that the apartment is such a short walk (~15 minutes) to the train station, as we were able to hop on a quick train to Bologna one morning for a day trip. We would definitely recommend Maria's place to anyone thinking about staying in Florence!
