Marie-Claire's apartment was perfect for our stay in Florence. She is an exceptionally lovely host and the home is outfitted quite well for a family. We have two teenagers, and them having their own room and their own single bed was quite a plus. There are five rooms plus a long hallway and bathroom. The wifi works well and the air conditioner in the 100 degree heat was a true blessing. The kitchen cabinets are stocked with spices etc. and all of the amenities are well appointed. The neighborhood is quite diverse and only one short block away from the Mercato Centrale. My husband and I went there every morning for cappuccinos, our breakfast and lunch groceries. What an amazing selection of foods they have! The Duomo is perhaps 10 minutes away, so all of the heart of Florence is within walking distance. It only took us 15 minutes to walk from the SMN train station to the apartment. If ever we needed anything, Marie-Claire was always available. The only slight problem we had was getting the hot water to reliably work for each of our showers. Otherwise, it was perfect and I highly reccommend her home.
