Maria Gabriella is a wonderful host. She was very helpful and quick to respond to messages. She was quick to suggest some points of interest and made me feel like I had a friend in the city to reach out to. Her place is located in a nice, beautiful area of Florence near the lively Santo Spirito. We easily walked everywhere we wanted to with no problem, but getting a taxi around would be easy as well. We had quite a few stairs to climb up the apartment...but this is only a challenge when bringing luggage up and out of the apartment. The apartment itself was clean, cozy, and had plenty of space for the three of us. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Florence and I cannot wait to visit my favorite Italian city and stay at Maria's again.
