The first thing you look for in a place especially in a city like Florence is location, location and location. Martina’s place is ideally situated: 5 min walk to the train station, slightly more to Il Duomo and the other main visited sites.
Martina is a great hostess. She welcomed me and took time to not only show me her place but also to provide tips when it came to restaurants and off the beaten track places to visit. Martina has a very nice and friendly personality and was very attentive to my needs.
Martina’s place is lovely and situated in a nice and green courtyard. It includes all the amenities that you would expect. I stayed for 3 weeks and it made me feel like home. It’s is also quiet unless you run out of luck and you end up with rowdy guests in the apartment above.
I would strongly recommend this place and if I were to visit Florence again, this would be my port of call
