We loved Florence and had a wonderful stay at the Martin residence. We were met by Veronica and she was a delightful hostess. She spent quite some time providing us with an overview of the city and pointing out sites to see, places to eat, etc. We followed her advice and had a wonderful experience. We loved the recommendations to eat at marios, the Michelangelo lookout point and other great places we wouldn't have known on our own. Definitely One of the best hostesses in our monthlong trip across Europe!
