This place was exactly what we were looking for. We were able to easily walk wherever we wanted to go from this apartment. The area directly around it was very cool as well. There were lots of tips left for us by our host, but also a ton of great ideas in the guestbook so definitely read that as well. It sort of just felt like we lived in Florence for a few days. The apt itself was great - clean, simple, comfortable bed. I didn't get to meet Marella but she was responsive by email and she had someone meet us for checkin.
