Martina is a wonderful host! She was waiting for us at the apartment to welcome us and to help us with our luggage. She also left a list of recommended restaurants, which we thoroughly enjoyed during our stay in Florence. On our last day, Martina booked us a cab ahead of time to help us get to the train station.
The area where the apartment is located is very lively and full of great restaurants. It's situated just off the liveliest streets, so it's still quiet at night. The location is also very convenient, with a supermarket right next door and a bus stop just down the street. Note that the apartment is on the second floor (USA 3rd floor), with rather steep stairs, which was not a problem except for when we had to bring our luggage up and down.
The apartment is perfect for a couple, and is well stocked with all the necessary amenities. I would highly recommend.
