Marina's apartment was exactly as the photos show: attractive, light and spotlessly clean. It's a very modern space which works extremely well in terms of showers, kitchen equipment etc, very close to the beautiful River Arno but close to the railway station for easy communications. The shutters and curtains were exceptionally effective in blocking out light for good quality sleep. Marina met us outside the apartment building exactly when she said she would and was very helpful. She speaks a little English whereas I speak no Italian so exchanges were basic but we managed fine.
