Staying at Santa Croche 18 on my recent trip to Florence felt like hitting the jackpot. Located in a gorgeous open square near Santa Croche, you feel central to everything in Florence. Some of the best pastry, gelato and leather shops are around. Marco designed the apartment with guests in mind, offering many extra touches that make the apartment feel that much more special. He has amazing recommendations for just about anything in Florence. After staying there, we felt we made the right choice considering the number of options on Airbnb. I will suggest this place to friends and return to this apartment on my next trip.
