Verónica was an excellent host. Our communication was clear and effortless. She was there to welcome us personally upon our arrival, and she was kind enough to sit down with a map and introduce us to the popular sites of Florence. She was able to answer all our questions regarding exchanging money and restaurants. We LOVED the location... A pleasant ten-minute walk from the train station, and just across the street from an incredible central market where we found the best of everything at the best prices (meats, pastas, fruits, vegetables, oils and spices, etc. We thought her place was charming and very comfortable. Sharing the two bathrooms was no problem at all, and yes, they were always clean. We made espresso in the kitchen, enjoyed it on the little terrace, then walked very short distances to most of the major sites. For us, the best part was the close proximity to the train station. And Veronica herself, who was always on hand to answer questions and offer help. We would gladly return to Residence Martin (hopefully soon!).
