Martin and Fifi were perfect hosts. Martin met us for check in, and gave us some great tips for places to eat, drink and visit. He also arranged for us to be able to leave our bags in the building on our final day as we had a gap between check out and our flights. He really went above and beyond what we hoped for. Fifi had left us a wonderful handwritten note full of fantastic suggestions for more bars, restaurants and attractions, along with various tasty treats to welcome us to the apartment.

The apartment itself is fantastic for those wanting to be right in the heart of Florence, but also want to have the ability to relax away from the bustling streets. The location could not be better -nothing is more than a 10 minute walk at the most.

The terrace is just as fantastic as the pictures suggest. It is huge, with full panoramic views of one of the most beautiful skylines in Europe. You get the full evening sun as well, which made aperitifs while watching the sunsets rather special.

Inside the apartment was everything we needed. It is a clean and well laid out studio flat, and everything worked very well. As other reviews have said, the bed is quite firm - personally this was not an issue for us at all and we found it very comfortable. But the main attraction of the apartment is the view (which you get whether inside or on the terrace).

We highly recommend both this apartment and Martin & Fifi as hosts. We certainly hope to return. Grazie Martin & Fifi!
