The experience was very smooth and very awesome, over-all. I highly recommend Marusca's place and we look forward to using her apartment as our future base in Florence!

We had a lot of luggage and didn't want to hang around in a small narrow street waiting around; we were not disappointed - we were met immediately from the taxi dropping us off at the location and were helped to move our bags to the 5th floor.

The listing was accurate and actually the apartment exceeded our expectations. Having a 2nd bedroom for the kids was a god-send, the shower was good and powerful with a bit more space than the usual Italian showers. The view was to die for.

The neighborhood is fantastic for all of Florence's major attractions. In particular we love the Oltrano (South of River) for hip and less overtly touristy Santo Spirito area.
