We were very excited to stay at Margherita's Luxury apartment, just judging by the photos. When we got there, it was even better than we expected! This apartment is absolutely beautiful! All of the modern luxuries you could ask for. It was great to have 2 full bathrooms and a washer and a full kitchen. I cooked breakfast every morning and was able to do a few loads of wash (this was week 2 of our Italian adventure!) There were little things to make us really feel at home. Coffee, fresh milk, all the cooking essentials, laundry detergent, etc.
One bonus was that the wifi was THE best wifi I've ever used. Even better than mine at home! It was really really nice to be able to check in with people at home and even download a movie for the flight home.
The apartment is close to the train, but just outside of the bustling city center so it was nice and quiet. Still perfectly within walking distance to EVERYWHERE. We enjoyed the Central Market every day and my boyfriend ran around the outskirts of the city center on a nice bike path close by.
Please note, there is no elevator! We had to carry our bags up multiple flights of stairs... We didn't mind because we're young and able-bodied - but this might be a major issue for some people.
Though I never met Margherita in person, she was always readily available by email or text and willing to help with anything we needed. Mercedes, the house keeper, greeted us and showed us around the apartment when we first got there. She was very pleasant! There was a map with lots of places to check out waiting for us on the table.
We will definitely stay here again next time we're in Florence!
