Marie & her most lovely apartment made our stay in Florence VERY special. The apartment was as she stated--and more. Quiet, well-decorated, comfortable., exceptionally clean. The four of us felt like we were in our own home--who could ask for more? The views from all windows were of beautiful gardens. One bedroom had a lovely terrace to sit privately. The kitchen was well-equipped and Marie put drinks and things in the refrigerator that she thought we would like upon arriving. How thoughtful she is! The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms exceptional with a large shower (both personal and rain showers) and all toiletries you could want (including hair dryer). She goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable--her hospitality cannot be beat! If you need air conditioning, it works well. We look forward to staying here again.
