I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect with a serviced apartment but it turned out to be really great. Marian and her brother were top notch in terms of hospitality. It was clear that they would do anything to make my stay as good as it could possibly be (e.g., asking several times if there is anything I need); this interest was genuine which isn’t the case everywhere. The apartment building felt a bit sterile (not a problem, just don’t know how to explain it) but the apartment itself was very comfortable. Decor was great, it was clean, plenty of space, etc. Really nicely done. The apartment is convenient (e.g., only a couple of short stops on the metro to be in the busy area; walking distance for most people) and in a safe area. It feels more like a suburb than being in the center of the city but it is really close to everything (~10 minute walk to the train station). I had a great time in Florence which was largely possible because I felt comfortable with my accommodations. I will definitely reach out to Marian about this location if/when I go back to Florence.
