Our stay at Marie's place was great. Her home is very cozy and extremely well located. We were able to walk to all the most interesting sites within 5-10 minutes including the duomo, uffizi gallery, palazzo vecchio and tons of great restaurants and bars. Her personalized recommendations book was very helpful, we used some of them and all were awesome. (Go to Gelato dei Neri! Best I've ever had). Savannah was kind enough to book a cab for us to the airport which was greatly appreciated. The only critique I have about the location is that the wi-fi went out frequently at night which is frustrating for a traveler like me who does not have international service and relies heavily on wi-fi. Other than that, I would recommend this cozy, central location and I would definitely go back and stay there.
