Maria Elisa / Marrusca might be my favorite Airbnb host ever. I feel like I’ve made a new friend in Florence! Where do I begin? Marrusca met with me and showed me the house within 10 minutes of messaging her (it was a very last minute trip to Florence and we hadn’t booked accommodations!). She gave many personal recommendations of what to do and where to go. Whenever I had a question, she was quick to come by the place and show me. The view from the rooftop is INSANE. The proximity to the central parts of Florence (food, shopping, culture, museums) can’t be beat. Briefly considered a different Airbnb that was farther away, but THIS was the best location. The neighborhood felt safe and well lit (be careful of pickpockets in Florence). It’s a bit noisy at night because it’s in the middle of the city, but still very comfortable. The decorations, bathroom, kitchen, furniture etc. was very clean and modern. If you’re looking for a place in Florence, you have to stay here!
