I feel like we found the needle in the Florence haystack with Maria's place! All the reviews we read ahead of time were great, so I had good expectations, but once we arrived those expectations were exceeded. First, we couldn't have asked for a better location. Next door to the Uffizi, Palazzo Vecchio, and Piazza della Signoria. There were 5 of us and we had more than enough room to spread out and have some space. As we walked around the city for a week, we keep saying to each other what a good location Maria's place is. Central to everything and we loved the area. Air conditioning is only in the main sitting area and the larger bedroom on front corner, so at times it was a little stuffy, but once we settled in for the night, the apartment cooled off pretty nicely. We are already talking about staying here again the next time we go to Florence. Thanks again Maria for a great stay!
