I stayed at Maria Teresa’s apartment for a full month while I was studying Italian in Florence and I am so pleased with the entire experience.
Check-in was easy and straightforward. Maria Teresa’s son met me near the apartment and helped me carry my luggage. Her place is very clean and well maintained, and looks exactly like the photos. Location is excellent - right by Mercato Centrale and you can walk anywhere in Florence from there. It can get a bit noisy in the evenings, which I did not mind as I live in a a very busy city and am used to the noise.
The best part of the experience is Maria Teresa’s hospitality. She took the time to take me around the immediate vicinity of the apartment to show me where the nearest supermarkets, laundromats, etc are to make my stay easier. Maria Teresa also checked in with me every few days to make sure everything was okay. I honestly could not ask for more.
Thank you very much Maria Teresa, and I hope to be able to return to Florence soon.
