Marusca was a fantastic host! She was on time for both check in and departure. She gave us a great suggestions for a wonderful pizza place, ice cream place and sandwich shop! She also recommended a great leather shop when requested and was quick to make sure all of our needs were met. The apartment is beautiful as well as homey feeling and much more spacious than I would have expected for an apartment in Florence. It was within easy walking distance to the train station even with luggage! It is also within walking distance of most everything you would want to do in Florence. My husband and I were traveling with our 2 kids in their 20's and the apartment worked beautifully for this situation. Thank you Marusca for making us feel welcome in Firenze!
