This apartment was our favorite place we stayed in all of Italy! We loved how old the building was, and how wonderfully decorated it is. Mari left us flowers in a vase, snacks and drinks in the fridge, and wait for it—chocolate by our pillows! Just so many lovely touches.
Mari is herself delightful. We really enjoyed talking to her and hearing a little about her life in Florence. She allowed us to drop off our bags early before check in time so she was there cleaning when we dropped them off. I’m so glad because I would have been sad not to meet such a nice lady!
Mari’s apartment is wonderfully located near the train, near restaurants, the outdoor market, and near the main, central part of Florence. It is an easy walk to any of the museums, shopping, and plazas.
The air conditioning worked very well. Mari also had ice for us in the freezer which I LOVED because we hadn’t had ice since we arrived in Italy. All in all, just a really delightful place to stay. Perfect for a romantic couple’s getaway or a girl’s trip.
(The only person who might have trouble is someone who can’t do stairs as Mari’s lovely place is up three flights of stairs and there is no elevator. Well worth the climb though if you are able-bodied!)
