Maddalena was a wonderful host! She gave great recommendations for our trip to Florence including restaurants, wineries, and our trip to Pisa and was very helpful regarding transportation and direction to the apartment. The apartment is located in a convenient and lively area. It's very close to the train station and walking distance to all the museums, restaurants and sights. It's important to note that the loft space has extremely low ceilings, so be careful walking around! Also, the rooms are not technically separate and there is no door to the upstairs bedroom, so noise can definitely be a concern. However, outside noise wasn't a problem for us. Overall we had a wonderful stay in Maddalena's Airbnb and would recommend to others visiting Florence!
