We loved our stay at Marella’s place and only wished we could have stayed longer. Marella was communicative, accommodating, helpful and kind. The space is exactly as pictured. My husband and I commented that we’d be happy to live in a place like this if we could live in Firenze. The location was excellent, found right in the heart of Santa Croce, a quieter (but still lively) part of Firenze steps from the main Duomo and the stunningly beautiful but much less crowded Santa Croce Duomo. Marella recommended the restaurant across the street and it was excellent. The shower had great water pressure and plenty of hot water, which these weary travelers greatly appreciated! It rained out first day there and we were grateful to find an umbrella we could use. It was a little challenging to find the location at first because the street names were not clearly marked, but local people were helpful and Marella’s instructions were very clear. Would definitely recommend this stay, a great value for the price!
