Staying with Maria was an absolute pleasure. The location is perfect, about 5 mins walk to the Duomo and yet peaceful in the evenings. The room is indeed extremely bright and well kept, with lovely high ceilings and bathroom. Maria herself is extremely kind and helpful- not that there were any problems. She met us upon arrival and was just next door if needs be. I will 100% be using Maria should I return to Florence. A fantastic stay and very reasonably priced.
