This “peculiar apartment” was everything we could hope for during our stay in Florence. It was such a great area to stay in and a haven that felt like coming home after a long day exploring the city. There are great views out of each window yet surprisingly quiet. Despite the huge crowds that come with visiting during the high season you feel like a local in this neighborhood. The apartment itself is spacious and eclectic and made us smile. The air conditioning was perfection! There was a heat wave during our stay and despite turning it off while we were out exploring it always felt cool when we returned. We miss it already and when we return to Florence this is where we will stay. Marie is the perfect host, she is responsive to any questions or concerns and can tell you all you need to know about Florence. There is a hill to get to the apartment building and then stairs to the apartment itself. We were intimidated (being of a certain age) but it was not a problem. I decided it meant I could eat all the gelato I wanted and it also helped us learn to slow things down and enjoy everything around you.
Thank you Marie for giving us the perfect trip of a lifetime!
