Staying at Marie's apartment in Florence was wonderful. From the minute we walked in we were amazed at the beautiful decor and the peace that was evident in the apartment. As two couples, we found the apartment a perfect size and Marie supplied everything we required for our stay and more. It was hot when we arrived and there were cold beers in the fridge. The location is fantastic, we could walk anywhere in Florence with ease and we loved sitting at St Croce in the evenings, just soaking in the atmosphere. Marie was on vacation, but Nicholas was there to greet us and helped us with a few queries. He went beyond our expectations. Marie also left us with detailed information to help us while we were there. While the area is quite busy at night we were not disturbed once by noise from the street. Amazing! I would love to come back to Florence for longer next time and would definitely stay at Marie's apartment, hopefully to also meet Marie who I think is an extraordinary lady.
