Marusca is absolutely the most wonderful host. She gives attention to every minor detail, provided some very thoughtful surprises (the basil plant- I almost cried with joy) and made sure that not only was the apartment comfortable, but that we knew where to go, where to eat and what to do. She even called us a taxi at departure. We loved our experience in Florence and are already planning another! Marusca is wonderful, and the apartment was perfect.
