We had a fabulous time at Marusca's lovely apartment. Marusca met us at the apartment and helped us with our luggage. She was warm and welcoming and showed us some great local eateries etc on the map. As there is a lift to the 5th floor and just one flight of stairs we felt we had all the advantages of a high viewpoint with no disadvantage .
The flat was exactly as described and shown on the website - except that they view over the Ponte Vecchio and the river was even better in real life. It was a fantastic apartment to explore Florence from - walking distance to everything and lovely to come back to in the evening and have a glass of wine and watch the lights on the duomo and the buskers on the bridge.
We had 2 couples staying at the apartment and had plenty of room.
We would definitely recommend here for a stay in Florence!
