I would recommend this apartment to the travelers who travels with the family or those who is keen on arts because you will have a lot of things to talk with Marion.
What we like of the room: Marion was a very friendly and excellent host. She sent me a very detailed pdf via email about useful information of Florence: like how to go to the apartment, what is to visit in Florence, recommendations for restaurants and bars etc. She answered my message quickly and was very flexible on arrival time although we had some delay with trains. She enjoyed showing us the apartment and expressing her background and her enthusiasm on arts. Pity that I know nothing about arts. She also helped us when we asked about the location and transportation ways of The Mall. On the day we departed, she also came to see us off. The apartment was very clean and decorated well. The sofa in the living room was comfortable. The kitchen and the bathroom were especially nice. It was also convenient to go to restaurants (within 10min walk) and city center since several bus stops were within 5 mins' walk.
What we think it could be improved: The apartment was newly renovated more than 1 month ago, according to Marion, however we could still smell the renovation especially when we closed the window (coz we turned air-conditioner on and we don't want to let mosquitos come in). It was little bit difficult for my parents to sleep well since they are very sensitive for the smell. We talked with Marion and her daughter about this, and there is no other possibility for solving this issue so far except for air freshener. I hope that this was an individual experience and the smell might disappear after some time.
