I highly recommend this apartment and host! Marcella is a fantastic host and just a very wonderful person. She pays attention to every detail and always makes sure that you are well taken care of. She responds quickly, is extremely nice and kind, and as I said, just pays attention to everything so that you feel at home. The apartment is spacious, a good layout, very clean, and has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. Most importantly for us, the apartment is very quiet, especially the bedroom, which is totally silent and has darkening shades. The mattress and cotton linens are also very comfortable... We have never slept so well in our life! The kitchen is well equipped and spacious. The location is very good too- central to everything but on a quiet residential street so you don't get noise in the apartment. The neighbors are calm and quiet. We had a perfect stay for the three weeks we were there and we never wanted to leave! Having stayed in many places in Florence, this apartment and host are by far the best. Thank you Marcella for everything- We will certainly be back soon!
