Maura's apartment is beautifully and sympathetically renovated and it is very spacious.
The air conditioning is of excellent quality and functions very effectively when required. We greatly appreciated the mosquito nets on all the windows and French doors and the fluffy white towels. The beds were comfortable and the bed linen was crisp and fresh as you would find in the best of hotels. The apartment is situated in a fantastic area out of the hustle and bustle of the city centre but in an area with cafes, bars and restaurants within very easy walking distance. We were able to get to all the sites of Florence easily by bus which was within about 3 minutes walk from the apartment. The supermarket was about a 1 minute walk and we loved what became our little local cafe almost next door (Cafe Mingo). As well as very cheap coffee and cakes, we were able to buy our bus tickets there too.
Maura's apartment is an ideal place to stay in Florence and we would highly recommend it.
