Great communication from both hosts Marina and Claudio, which made the booking and check-in process easy and smooth. Claudio was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay, from check-in to any questions we had during our few days in Florence. The apartment was exactly as described and pictured, large and modernly furnished, with all the amenities you need during your stay. The location is great; less than 10mins walk to Santa Maria Novella railway station and 20mins walk to most of the tourist points in the city, including the night life of Ponte Vecchio. There are also many small shops, supermarkets, cafes and restaurants within 5mins walk from the apartment. As mentioned in the hosts' description and by other reviewers, there are some narrow flights of stairs you need to take to reach the apartment, so anyone with mobility issues or small children should take note of this. However, our group was young and active so it wasn't really a problem for us. If I'm ever in Florence again, I would definitely stay here!
