We had a great time at Margherita's apartment in Florence. She greeted us the first day with a smiling face and gifts of wine and other lovely items. The apartment is located in the Oltrarno area, away from the bustling tourist area but within walking distance of the Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio and other major sights. There is also a bus stop in the lovely neighborhood park nearby, which has a Friday market. The flat is large and comfortable with any amenities you might need (like clothes and dish washers, a refrigerator, dishes and utensils and soft towels.). The wifi is blazing fast and stable and the ac cools the apartment well within a few minutes. The bathroom is newly renovated with a rainfall showerhead.
We were originally concerned from the pictures that the bed might be small but it only looks that way because the bedroom is so large. We sleep on a king size at home and it was more than big enough for the two of us and was very comfortable. The bedroom is situated on a garden area away from the street and was very quiet.
Margherita was always available if we needed any assistance and provided recommendations for restaurants and a gellateria (La Sorbettiera). It became a daily stop after touring the city.
All in all, we had a wonderful stay!
