We stayed in Maya's beautiful apartment for 4 nights. When we arrived Maya met us and provided us with some information about the area and some suggested itineraries for Florence. She then kindly walked to the historical centre with us, showing us the supermarkets, best places to eat (great recommendations, thankyou!), and other general tips. The apartment is in a quiet residential area away from the tourist maze. Such a lovely spot and feels very comfortable, and is (in our opinion) a perfect location to stay in Florence as all the main places are still within walking distance but you can return 'home' to peace and quiet.
Maya herself was more than accommodating, even offering a late check-out and an extra night if we so desired. She has some interesting stories and is more than lovely, and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable.
The apartment is gorgeous! Her father has beautifully constructed much of the interior. The apartment is decorated in such an artistic and tasteful way that it feels like a real home! The kitchen was well-equipped and larger than others we encountered. Wifi worked speedily, air-conditioner worked (and was a welcome addition in the stagnant Florentine heat). The place felt really welcoming and inviting to stay in! Everything you could have needed was there. We absolutely loved this apartment and all the attention to detail that Maya has artistically executed.
Would highly recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to stay in Florence - short or long-term! Thank you for such a warm, welcoming stay Maya! We hope to return to Firenze (and specifically your beautiful apartment)!
