Maria Paola's place is close to all places of interest. The building where it is located has an elevator, so bringing in heavy luggage is not a problem. Maria and Lorenzo (her husband) are gracious hosts and very detailed in explaining the best restaurants to eat near the Ponte Vecchio area (they even have calling cards to share with the guests).
All in all, we enjoyed our 3-night stay at her gorgeous apartment.
Grazie mille, Maria Paola and Lorenzo!
