Maria Cristina's apartment is a great find - everything you need is provided and it's ideal for a few days in Florence. We felt very much at home and very welcome from the moment we arrived. The only slight negative is that it is a little bit of a walk into town (30 mins) though there are nearby bus options which will get you across town pretty quickly. Finally there are lots of good eateries nearby as well as a couple of supermarkets. All in all a lovely apartment and great host!
