Martina is the perfect hostess and her apartment is even better than described. I travel a lot and Martina is the best host I’ve ever had. The place was immaculate and every last little detail was in place. She has all the spices and ingredients you need for basic cooking (which is extra special) all the pots, pans, dishes and silverware. Extra toilet paper, towels, plenty of shampoo and body wash. A big wardrobe to put your clothes. I was at her place for a month. The week before Christmas, she asked to come in while I was away…she decorated and left me a gift of wine and chocolates! Absolutely wonderful! She put up two little Christmas trees and some lights on the balcony. It really made the place feel cozy and welcoming. She was very responsive (within the hour) and the check-in was a breeze. The location is great. There is a grocery store next door. My overall stay was absolutely the best. 5-stars all around. I will definitely stay here again the next time I’m in Florence.
