This is a wonderfully clean and comfortable apartment...exactly like or even better than the photos.
Marie-Claire is a super host – she met us upon arrival and made sure that we had everything we needed all throughout our stay….and even after we got home 

The area is not dodgy, rather there are some non-Italian immigrant shops and restaurants around. Maybe not for everyone --- our young family of four had no issues at all…it was surprising at worst. Everything in Firenze is within a ten minute walk so we had no problems moving around.
