This apartment was just as shown on the web site. Plenty of living and sleeping space for two, large bathroom even by European standards, laundry facilities in an adjacent building and nice touches from Martina made for an excellent experience. It was a lovely change from the usual small hotel room. We were there for 7 nights, part for touring and mostly for business. The apt was very clean, fresh sheets, comfortable mattress & pillows ( my husband is particular about these), and nice welcome bottle of Chianti. The central market is only a few blocks and they're used to tourists- we bought food for breakfasts, enjoying the fresh fruit and vegetables available. The first floor food vendors open early at 8am (maybe 7am) and they start closing around 1:30pm; the second floor restaurants are open until midnight. There's a supermarket near the train station where we got milk and dairy products. The only downside of our stay was we couldn't open the windows due to all the mosquitoes and no screens, but I think this is common to the residences in Florence. And the AC didn't work (altho to be fixed on the day we left), so it was warm and humid inside. That said, I definitely recommend Martina as a host and thank her for leaving us with great memories of our stay in Florence.
