Mariangela’s Purple apartment is just as advertised - perfect location, clean, spacious and has all the amenities needed for an enjoyable trip to Florence. 8 mins from the train station, 5 mins to Duomo, a grocery just around the corner, and plenty of restaurants and bars just outside the apartment. Just be warned that the apartment is located on the second floor (3rd floor for non-Europeans) and there is no elevator. But Mariangela was clear about this.
But the best thing about this apartment is the host. Mariangela will meet you outside the apartment to give the keys and orient you with the apartment. She even helped us carry some of our things when she noticed one of our companions was having a hard time go up the flight of stairs. She was always responsive with all our queries before and during the trip. She was helpful and genuinely kind. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
