Following our arrival in Florence to a failed prior booking (not-as-described, with a completely different host), Airbnb found us Marie’s apartment.
Marie was able to accommodate us at extremely short notice, and her outstanding hospitality saved our holiday. The apartment is quite simply superb (like a set from a Peter Greenway movie!) with fresco’d ceilings, a private courtyard and two huge showers. Not only is is just a 90 second walk from the Palazzo Vechio, so central to *everything*(!), Marie provided wonderful hospitality with lovely personal touches and produced an extremely well written and comprehensive guest guide with some excellent local tips.
All in all this was the most sumptuous AirBnB we have ever stayed in!
Thank you once again Marie, and pats to Pablo, from Phin, Lucy & Madeleina :-)
