LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! My daughter and I stayed in Martina's very charming apartment. The apartment is in an excellent location and allows you to walk easily to the more touristy parts of Florence while enjoying a more local experience in Santo Spirito. We enjoyed eating at the local restaurants which we found to have way more charm that the tourist locations on the other side of the river. Her apartment is super clean, has amazing architectural features, and is well appointed. It's also located above a fantastic pasticceria and right next to a super good gelato shop and pizzeria. We loved sitting on the terrace and drinking wine while enjoying the view of the river. Martina's mom, Paulo, coordinated are check-in and went above and beyond to help me when my luggage was delayed at the airport. She also texted me when a very significant celebration, Scoppio del Carro, was taking place which we appreciated and was able to participated in. We were so grateful to have her close to answer questions. I can't say enough positive comments about our experience with Martina and Paulo. We will definitely be back!
