I wish I could live here forever. I spent a month here and it wasn't long enough! Margherita's mom, Veronica, has done a fantastic job with this place. I'm afraid that if I leave a good review I'll never find this apartment available again, haha. But seriously, the apartment has the best location, right in santo spirito, a local artisan neighborhood where Florentine culture still thrives. The place is just a stone's throw from the historic center... but also comfortably removed from the throngs of tourist. The kitchen is well equipped, the wifi is good, the bed is comfortable, and the hot water heater never tuckers out- what more could you ask for?? Be sure to try the gnocchi at Osteria Santo Spirito, the pizza at Da Gherardo, and the gelato at La Carraia.
The hosts here care about you and are always available to help. I could write a book on all of the hospitality that they showed me, but, alas, I am pecking this out on my cell phone, so I'll save that for another day.
Thank you, Veronica and Margherita, for making my stay so personal, with lots of local recommendations.
