The Neighborhood
Enjoy the charms of the Florence Historic center and Santa Croce lifestyle during your stay in Florence. A variety of attractions are only a short walk away. 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
14 minutes from the Dome
9 minutes from Bargello
15 minutes from Ponte Vecchio
Other Things to Note
Children under 3 years FOR FREE
Chek-in after 3 p.m. and check-out up to 11 a.m.
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)
No housekeeping service during the stay

Fantastic location and cute apartment. We could walk down the street to San Croce to the Christmas Market every evening. Wonderful coffee shop for breakfast around the corner and excellent restaurants nearby.

The location was great but the second bedroom was incredibly small. We ended up going somewhere else for the second night.

Maia apartment was charming. It is in an old building, but brought very up to date. It is cleverly and charmingly decorated. The size of the apartment is typical for the era it was built in, not very large, but the space is accommodating and very clean throughout. Having the mini splits to cool during this time of early September was a huge plus!The kitchen/sitting area had ample seating. The view out the window was lovely! The kitchen was well supplied with all necessary items for cooking meals and a kettle for heating water for tea/coffee. The main bedroom was roomy and the bed comfortable for two. That was a pleasant surprise! The pull our couch in the kitchen area was also comfortable for both sitting and sleeping. The loft area even though having a bit a of a steep ladder climb to reach, recieved no complaints from the family member who slept there. I will say the room with the access to the loft is small and we found the cot in there was not up to our expectations. The shower is small by american standards but totally functional, with good water pressure. You need to pay attention to closing the door fully. The host was wonderful and always responded quickly. I've had difficult experiences in the past when getting into a place, this was not so with this host. They provided clear and full explanations with how to get to the place and entrance! I can strongly recommend Maia Apt!!!
