My sons and I stayed here for a week and it felt like "Home". It was cozy with lots of room. We had friends come around for dinner and a stayover and it did not feel claustrophobic as there are three separate sleeping areas. My sons claimed the mezzanine floor and had no problems whatsoever with bugs or mosquitoes as mentioned in an earlier review!! The heaters kept us warm as the weather started getting cooler. The flat overlooks Piazza Mercato Centrale where you can buy everything you need from leather products to fresh vegetables or you could sit by the window and watch the world go by! If you wish to do some cooking, everything you need is in the kitchen, which has a large fridge and oven. The separate dining room is ideal for hosting friends. The Duomo is literally just around the corner and so is everything you want to see in this beautiful renaissance city!! Overall, Maria Laura was a perfect host and we felt we got the best value for money in Florence. Grazie and Vinaka vakalevu!! Suzie, Joshua and Colin. Suva, Fiji Islands.
