We had a wonderful stay with Maddalena- the apartment was spacious and well kept, and perhaps the greatest thing about it was the location. It was a joy to finish shopping in Florence's streets, or to go sightseeing at the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Santa Croce, and others knowing that the walk home would be short and along well known streets. The Artviva walking tour agency was very near to the apartment too, alongside great restaurants. All in all, one of the best apartment rentals we've had in Italy.
