The apartment is exactly as described. Our stay at Marta's apartment was great - the apartment is very cozy and the loft style was very nice. As noted in some other reviews, the loft itself is a bit shallow and tall people (5'8" and taller) may have to duck a bit to avoid hitting their heads on the wood beams. Marta was a great host - responsive and helpful when I had questions about arriving and the apartment itself. We only interacted with her mother as she was at work, but that wasn't an issue at all. The bed and the linens were very nice and we slept extremely well. She even provided some amenities in the bathroom (shampoo, conditioner, lotion) and basics for breakfast (crackers, nutella, tea) which was very welcomed. The location is great -- just a few minutes to Piazza de Michaelangelo in one direction, and a few minutes to the Ponte Vecchio in another. There is also free parking close by if you're driving. The only con about this apartment is very minor: because the apartment is on the 4th floor and is tucked into the surrounding buildings, you don't get much natural sunlight so it may be hard to figure out the weather/time of day. Other than that, we had a very pleasant stay in this clean and comfortable apartment!
