Marina’s place was an unexpected treasure, although getting their by taxi up the big hill and climbing the many floors up might not seem so at first. Still, when you walk out into the balcony and see the view of Florence: worth it. No need to climb to Piazale Michaelangelo; your view of Florence is right outside your bedroom.
The apartment was cozy and also vertically challenging (not made for people with any sort of mobility issues or hatred of stairs), and everything was clean. There were nice towels, but no extra roll of toilet paper that we could find. Fortunately, a supermarket was right down the hill from the apt.
Be careful of mosquitos; they were around even in late Oct, and me and my boyfriends faces look like we came down with the pix. Keep the doers leasing to the balcony closed at all times.
Location is good. Right at the base of the Ponte Vecchio, in the Oltarno part of Florence.
Would 100% stay again, if only for that view!
