The apartment is even better than what you see it is clean, comfortable and very well located. Mariangela had a note book with suggestions of things to do in Florence and worked with our schedule to make us feel welcome and had traditional Tuscan cookies for us to enjoy at breakfast. The apartment had plenty of space for 5 people and the washer was an added bonus. The stylish bright red suite is an easy few minute walk to the train station and the Santa Maria Del Fiore Duomo. There are plenty of places to eat at in the area including the Mercato Centrale with stands to eat at or purchase food for you to cook at the apartment. It is a second floor apartment which provides a buffer from the activity in the neighborhood, but guests with a lot of luggage should know there is no lift. Our stay at Mariangela's apartment made our Florence stay even better than we had hoped.
