Maria Claudia was an excellent host. She took the time to provide directions and tourist spots on a map she provides herself. She was available whenever we had any questions and was a pleasure to talk to and even offered to provide any necessities (ex. toiletries) we needed. Her apartment is as described and shown in pictures and is the perfect place to stay within walking distance of everything. FYI you can even walk to her place from Firenze SMN if you choose to do so. It helped us get our bearings and enjoy the beautiful architecture of the buildings along the way. Highly recommend staying at her wonderful place.
