Marta's home was heavenly for our 1-week stay in Florence. It was perfectly located right across the river from the Uffizi, well designed, and very comfortable. The apartment is the perfect blend of authentic old-world charm and contemporary conveniences. The exposed wood beam + tile ceilings and original brick floors are complemented by a modern kitchen, bathroom, and high-speed internet with WIFI. Marta was an incredibly kind host as well. She left us a tasty Panettone and was very gracious about our extra late arrival time. The neighborhood, Oltrano, is great. It's a short 10 minute walk to the Duomo, Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, and Santa Croce but is outside the tourist stream. Great dining and gelato options nearby as well! It's perfect!
