We had a wonderful time in Florence and the accommodations were a big a part of it. The apartment is within 10 minutes walk from the Stazione S.M.N. When we arrived we walked over and were met by Marco,who gave us a good tour of the accommodations, as well as directions and selections for some of the local sights and food. There was a map that was better than the one we got from the information center. The apartment is on the first floor, which is above the main level, so you will need to haul your suitcase(s) up the stairs. Lights are in the hallway and turn off automatically, after being manually turned on to see in the hallways. Marina provides a place where you can relax after a full day of visiting the sights. The location is quiet. The air conditioning is a big plus. The bedroom has a queen-size bed and a separate air conditioning unit. When turning off the units remember that the main unit is in the main area, and does not turn off completely unless the bedroom unit is off. The location is great as we were able to walk to everything we wanted to see and do.
