What an amazing apartment! We feel very fortunate to have spent our first trip to Florence in such a spectacular place. Maruska was there to warmly greet us upon arrival and tell us all about the apartment, the surrounding area, places to eat, and site-seeing attractions nearby.

It was so nice to be able to do laundry inside the apartment. All amenities were included - fully furnished kitchen with dishwasher; laundry room with drying rack, washing machine, and iron; 2 spacious bathrooms with relaxing rainfall showers, hair dryers, etc. Literally everything we could possibly have needed, even down to dishwashing detergent, laundry detergent, and ice in the freezer made in these awesome European plastic bags. Plus there is a Conad supermarket down the street, so it was very convenient to get groceries.

The location was also perfect. We were in the middle of it all, yet the street traffic wasn't noisy at all. There is a merry-go-round about a block away, and our toddler was more than happy to ride it again and again. You can also hear the church bells from the Duomo ringing, which adds a really nice Florentine ambience. And the rooftop terrace, which is accessible with our keys, offers breathtaking views of the city and surrounding countryside. Maruska was kind enough to call us a taxi to take us to the train station as we checked out. We were very sad to leave such a fabulous apartment at the end of our trip. Thank you for the memories, Maruska and Maria!
