We were greeted warmly by Maria who showed us the ins and outs of her clean fresh apartment. Communication was great with the app and she let us check-in early. We felt at home in a very local place with hardly any tourists. There is a very local restaurant across the street that serves good food at very reasonable prices. Also convenient is a clean well stocked grocery store and gelato place right around the corner. It was within walking distance to museums and the town center and the walk is quite relaxing with various shops and eateries. We loved Florence! Grazie Maria!
