Marie's place is incredible-- classy, historical, and beautiful. I just loved her style. The location really is in the heart of everything. You can walk to just about anywhere from here. Marie provides a folder full of recommendations and tips that we found very helpful. There was a coffee shop just a block away where we could have a hearty breakfast and some fabulous coffee. Marie made check-in so easy and we had access to everything we needed-- even a washer for our clothes! I would most definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling to Florence. Much better than staying in a hotel. We didn't want to have to leave.
