We had a very nice stay in Florence at Mariangela's apartment. Communication with Mariangela was great from the very beginning when we booked the initial reservation, upon checking in and while we were there, and even after we left just to wish us well. The apartment is in a great location, within easy walking distance to everything we wanted to see, and was especially convenient for us in relation to it's proximity to the train station as we did a couple day trips using Florence as our "home base".
