The apartment is located at the second floor of a just refurbished old and typical building, near to the most famous sites: few minutes from Santa Croce church, Dome, Ponte Vecchio, Bargello and Uffizi. Santa Croce is one of the most cool and popular florentine locations. The area is lined with restaurants, cafés, shopping spots (email hidden)ly atmosphere. Stroll down to the Macci’s street in S. Ambrogio area you'll find the lively famous food market with all kind of fresh products. There you will also find a pay and display parking. Do visit the Ciompi square with its antiquities market. Finally, I am a good cooker and food lover, so just ask for restaurant recommendations!
Getting around
Car Not Necessary.
The Florence old town centre is full of pedestrian areas, small and easy to visit walking . Anyway the Maia apt is 205 mt far away from the pay and display parking of S.Ambrogio.
The Maia apt is close enough to walk to all of the sites:
4 minutes from the Santa Croce church
13 minutes from Piazza Signoria and the Uffizi

9 minutes from Bargello
15 minutes from Ponte Vecchio

Note – the apt has two separate bedrooms so it is perfect for families of 4 or for a couple. The additional two sleeping accommodations are in the living room sofa-bed.
The wood staircase in the little loft room is steep.
The building staircase is easy anyway we want to underline that it is a walk up building (NO LIFT)

Well appointed, cozy, 2nd floor walk-up apartment, VERY near central Florence!!
What a wonderful location......no more than a 20 minute walk to everything Florence !! Eugenia and Max were a great help to us prior to our visit and very welcoming upon arrival. They went above and beyond in helping us secure a parking garage for our rental car...even got us a great daily rate :) Our children loved the loft bed and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook a simple meal and nearby were many restaurants and a grocery store. The apartment was clean and well appointed , plenty of linens and AC/heat to cover you in any weather. The small bathroom is typical for city living and was rather cramped...but all in all we'd stay there again for all the other great amenities, proximity to Florence and VERY kind hosts.

Perfect, centrally (but not too much so) adorable apartment .
We stayed six nights at this great little apartment just minutes from Piazza Di Santa Croce. It is minutes from the wonderful cathedral and its lively piazza, yet very quiet. Great restaurants all around. A quick walk to the Arno. Our hostess, Eugenia was just wonderful. She went above and beyond to fix a minor light problem and supplied us with a very complete list of general information, local restaurants, and other amenities. Ask her about her cooking classes! We would definitely stay there again!

Fabulous Apartment!
What a fantastic apartment on a quiet street in Santa Croce neighborhood. The location was perfect for my husband and me, we walked everywhere. The apartment was immaculate, everything in great condition, and Eugenia was wonderful! She welcomed us with a bottle of wine and provided helpful information on restaurants, the neighborhood etc! I highly recommend! Would definitely return. Thanks for everything Eugenia!
