This place is very well located. It is close to the historic center and also close to the Arno, which leads to a less agitated area.
It is full of charm, it feels like a home with a soul and the garden is very well maintained and a great place to share a cocktail with friends before heading to the restaurant. Perusing in the library and CD collection was delightful.
Marie was very helpful about letting us bring our luggage earlier the check-in day while it was being cleaned and even proposed us to leave them there on the day of the checkout while it was being clean as no other guess was expected that day.
There was more than enough room for 4 adults.
Marie communicated rapidly and even paid a visit to the apartment when we had issues with air conditioning. We visited Florence when temperatures were around 36-38 degrees during the daytime (around 98 F) and could not get the temperature to go under 27 C (80 F) in the apartment. The ceiling fan in the main room made it comfortable but we wish there would also have been ceiling fans in the bedrooms. We had a hard time sleeping with such high temperatures and not efficient ventilation. The AC units definitely did not provide the expected comfort and could not lower the temperature to the 23 C (73 F) we were hoping for. The best advice we received was to leave the windows open at night and close them during the day, which we finally did with mitigated success.
We believe that adding ceiling fan and being explicit about the AC limitation (without regard to climate change concerns) would be a plus.
