Marinas place was located in possibly the best place in Florence. Right near the Rialto Bridge but walking distance to everything else. Yes... there are stairs to get to the apartment but it's a great way to work off all the pasta and pizza (its really not that bad) The apartment was beautiful, clean and cosy. The only minor issues we had were that the toilet was hard to flush, the washing machine smelt damp and mouldy (even after doing a 15 minute wash cycle to see if that would get rid of the smell.... it didn't), there was no coffee for us to make our much loved percolator coffee and the bed was quite hard. Other than that it was perfect. Be aware of Mosquitos too!!!
