Marusca greeted us warmly at the apartment. She shared many wonderful tips and locations on the city map, and we visited quite a few of her "hot spots". Every time we mentioned Marusca's name to vendors or restaurant owners, they had nothing but kind words to say about her. She seemed to be a legend in Florence. The master suite was comfortable and quite spacious. The noise level in the front bedroom was a little loud, according to the guest who stayed in that room. It was nice to have a washer/dryer option in the apartment. It included a full kitchen, but who wants to cook while in Italy? The location of the apartment was close to the train station and also to the meeting spot for many of the tours we took both inside and outside of Florence. We would give Marusca and her apartment a 10+ rating.
