Maria's place was fantastic it was a short bus ride to the centre of Florence. We chose to walk to avoid the crammed buses which only took 30minutes. The room was perfect and there was a fridge and kettle for food and making hot drinks. No kitchen but a yummy pizzeria down the road and the co op supermarket had some hot food options so we didn't need to go out every night for dinner. Maria gave us an in depth description of Florence with a map and things not to be missed. She goes above and beyond to help her guests and I would definitely stay with her in the future.
