We really enjoyed our stay at Marusca’s apartment. She was a great host, very personable, knowledgeable and helpful. The apartment is comfortable, and the balcony view of the Arno, the Ponte Vecchio, the Cupola and the Palazzo Vecchio and all of the grandeur of Florence is unsurpassed. - a postcard view. We either had takeout or cooked ourselves each of the 3 evenings we stayed in order to enjoy the sunset and the very nice nightly acoustic entertainment on the Ponte Vecchio. Highly recommend.
