Martina is an absolutely wonderful host. Upon arrival, she greets you personally and ensures that you are oriented fully for a comfortable stay. I loved, loved, loved the location. The apartment sits within a quiet and safe complex -- a true oasis from the craziness of the city. The gardens are gorgeous and there's a lovely deck to take coffee in the mornings or sip wine in the late afternoons. The inside space is bright, modern and fresh. And the apartment is stocked with all that you need for casual and restful holiday. When you chose to leave, you are centrally located and just a few minutes walk to SMN train station, the central market (which is perfect for fresh meats and vegetables -- or people watching) and the Duomo. There are 2-3 lovely eateries on the side-street if you are tired from a long day and just want to take a quick bite too. Raj, at Raj's Wine Shop, (across the street) will help you with any last minute wine needs too! What I am trying to say is that you will feel like you live as a welcomed guest in this wonderful city while staying in this property. Lastly -- and not immaterially -- there's a full (and very fast) washer/dryer! I highly recommend this property and this wonderful host. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Florence.
