Marusca & her son Lorenzo were amazing. There was a problem initially with the booking that wasn't their fault but they fixed it immediately. They were kind, generous and so giving with their time. Excellent communication.
The location of the apartment is very nice. It's on a street that has restaurants and shops and is very close walking distance to the Florence Cathedral (Il Duomo di Firenze). It's also only a few hundred metres from the Florence Santa Maria Novella train station. Makes it very convenient for day trips or for arriving and departing Florence by train.
The apartment is quite a large 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom. It's been renovated so has a modern feel, new appliances and ample lighting. We made use of the brand new washing machine to refresh our clothes for our trip. Be warned, if you try to do a cold wash, it may revert back to a warm wash on start. So you need to change it to cold again once you begin your wash. Also, note that you do need to climb two small flights of stairs to get into the apartment.
Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed. Great location in a spacious modern and clean apartment. I can't speak highly enough about Marusca and Lorenzo.
