We have just returned from 4 fantastic days in Florence and our flat was wonderful, as was Marusca. Marusca was in good contact with us before our stay and she even advised us in case there would be an air strike as originally predicted. She was there to greet us and provided us with good suggestions and advice about the area, shopping, places to visit and restaurants. We were given maps and there were books and leaflets in the flat. She was very warm and welcoming, we felt completely at home.

The beds were wonderfully comfortable, there is everything you need for a short or even a long stay. The big balcony is a huge bonus. There is plenty of equipment to cook with but there are also lots of good places to eat.

The flat could not be better situated, right by the old bridge, it was generally quiet but if you are a light sleeper, the sounds of deliveries to the hotels and happy holiday makers could be a problem, in which case stay in a less popular area. There are a lot of stairs for anyone who has a mobility problem and even though there is a tiny lift, you would need to climb a steep flight to get to it. I am not young and have some mobility problems occasionally and I managed it OK

We both had a wonderful stay and totally recommend the flat and Marusca as a host. If we visit again and we would definitely trust any flat run by her
