Martina's apartment was a great place for us to stay and explore Florence. We loved the location- not exactly in the crowded tourist hub and yet everything was accessible. The apartment is clean, beautifully decorated and had all the required amenities. A mini-mart just opposite was useful and there are a number of good places to eat in the area, including the famous gelateria next door. Martina's mother Paola was very pleasant and made checkin-in and out very easy. We would certainly go back if we visited Florence again.
