Nice, Clean and Great Location

My husband, sister and I spent a few days in Florence and we couldn't have found a better apartment for the three of us. Close to all the sites and this area has great local restaurants. The apartment was clean, secure with very comfortable beds, a great bonus for Italy. Mery and Salvatore were very helpful and assisted us in our search for lost luggage. Mery was very responsive to my e-mails before we arrived helping us with reservation to a few of the local museums.

We are two lady friends from California traveling in Italy for a month. Our last stop was Florence for a week and we were pleasantly surprised. The apartment had been remodeled and the location was central to everything. Added plus was the elevator and the internet hookup and convenient market. We took the Hop-on Hop-off bus with a two day pass and even got off at the Academia Gallery to see "David". Mery and Salvatore were extremely helpful and we admired their hard working values.

This is a perfect place to stay while in Florence. It is steps from some important sites including the Pitti Palace and Boboli gardens, close to restaurants, shops and public transportation. The one bedroom apartment is spacious, clean and extremely comfortable. Mery is available to assist in anyway possible, from providing information, making reservations and anything else to make your stay pleasant. We look forward to returning.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week stay in Florence at Salvatore & Mery's apartment. As you have read, they are gracious hosts and she has amazing ceramics that will be hard not to bring home with you. We used this location as a base camp to also visit Rome, Venice, and Pisa. We were initially intimidated by the 20 blocks to the train station, but if you are in shape, you will easily get there in 10 - 15 minutes (they are small blocks). We walked it each day enjoying the sights along the way. It is right around the corner from Ponte Vecchio and we enjoyed the sunsets each night. The walk was great for us as we indulged in all the nearby gelato stores. Yum! : ) I feel lucky that we chose Florence for our stay. It's a wonderful city and definitely one of my favorite stays. We hope to be back soon and will stay at this apt. again.

Our family of four stayed in Mery's apartment for 4 days. The apartment is very comfortable and clean and has plenty of room. It is also well equipped and nicely decorated. It's location is wonderful and so close to the Ponte Vecchio and Pitti Palace and yet very quiet. We also walked to Il Duomo and the Uffizzi Gallery which were an easy walk through Florences' fascinating streets. The Bardini Gardens are beautiful and well worth a visit. So green and peaceful, with a lovely cafe with spectacular views over florence. Mery was always very friendly and helped us with all our enquiries. Her ceramics shop is full of beautiful pieces and we bought some back home which Mery packaged and sent for us. We would definately recommend this apartment and hope one day to return. Thanks Mery!!

This apartment and the others that the landlord, Mery, has are all terrific in terms of comfort and location. The apartment is well kept and has everything that most anyone would require. It is about a 20 minute walk from the main train station and just a block from the Ponte Vecchio, yet back in a quiet courtyard off the main street. It is an easy walk to all the great art of Florence, and there are also some good restaurants around the area of the apartment. What's more, if you need any help (a reservation at the Uffizi perhaps?), Mery is always more than willing. It was a pleasure to meet her and to stay in her apartment. And she runs a fine ceramic shop in the courtyard for anyone who wants a souvenir from Tuscany. If you are going to Florence, you can't go wrong by settling in here for a while.

We found this apartment to be just what we needed for a relaxed week looking at sights in Florence. The apartment is well-located, near all the major touring destinations of the city. It is also quite comfortable, with a good amount of room for the two of us. Mery, the landlady, was not only very helpful in many ways, but also a kind, pleasant person. It was an added benefit to have her ceramics shop right at the entry to the apartment building, so that we were able to talk with her and view her beautiful ceramics creations each time we went in or out of the building. Highly recommended!

This apartment and it's owner were wonderful. We had a very nice stay here and were warmly welcomed to the apartment. The apartment was very clean and well equipped. I could rave on and on about how nice it was, but the list is endless. It was just perfect, I would stay here again and again and I would recommend it to everyone.

We stayed here in April 2010 with 2 of our 3 children and had the most wonderful time. The apartment is very accomodating for 4 with ample amenities. Location is absoluetly perfect for exploring all of Florence and easily in walking distance of everything you might want to see (we never used any public transportation). Mery is a very gracious host and always available for questions. Don't leave Florence without some of her pottery which is beautiful. The Pitti Palace/Boboli Gardens is a must and only a block away. Grocery and Bancomat very close by. We would love to return one day and would definately rent from Mery again.

We stayed in this apartment Dec. 2009 with another couple. The location is super cute and everything is so walkable in Florence that the apartment was in the perfect location for us. Mery and her husband were great and made the trip planning very easy (she even helped make reservations at some of the museums for us since we couldn't get through on the phone from the States). The apartment was clean and well stocked. The only thing I would point out is that the apartment has been rearranged, so the photos aren't exactly what it looks like now. We would definitely recommend this apartment!
