If you are looking to stay in the heart of Florence, in a beautiful and comfortable place, then stay here! We called Marie's place home for 30 days and loved every minute of it.
Location - you are in the heart of old Florence, just minutes walk to to Arno, Uffizi, Duomo. It is just off one of the main streets that is lively and full of food and shops - yet you are isolated in a quiet den of comfort. We walked the entire city and then some as it is centrally located to everything. The nearest grocery store is just a three minute walk away.
Apartment - The two bedroom home is quite spacious and easily accommodated up to five us for dinner and socializing. The Main bedroom's bed was extremely comfortable (we like a firm mattress) with high ceilings. The bathrooms are clean and very modern. While the kitchen is small, we were able to cook most every meal here (Covid kept us from dining out) and never had an issue. It comes with a range (induction), oven, microwave, dishwasher percolator and the washing machine is under the counter. The main room is very spacious and when we came back to the apartment, always felt like home. The terrace is private to the unit - it is in the center of the building so others look down on it. We were unable to use it due to rain and temperature, but it would be a lovely place in spring and summer.
Hosts - Marie's communication was outstanding before the trip. She was away traveling while we were there, so her friend Mateo worked with us on site. He was a joy to work with - very friendly, quick to respond and helpful. Best hosts we've stayed with.
Overall - Marie's place was home. We loved every minute we spent there. You can hear the bells toll from Santa Croce, look through her extensive art literature collection, sip fantastic Chianti Classicos and enjoy all that Florence has to offer. Book it now!
