Mara's apartment was exactly what we needed for our short stay in Florence! It's a small space as described & as I expected, but it was perfect for my mom and I as we spent most of our time out exploring the city anyway. As others have mentioned, there is some late-night noise due to the disco around the corner, but it didn't last long and didn't bother us much at all. Mara was so lovely - we got a little bit turned around coming out of the train station, but not to worry! Mara was standing on the corner and found us trying to find our way. She could not have been nicer and more understanding. Even better - she had a delicious cake & bottle of wine waiting for us in the apartment! This was a great find - the location and value were fabulous. Can't wait to get back to Florence - thanks for a great place to stay, Mara!
