Sylvia was a fabulous host! She met us at the apartment and helped us with our bags up the stairs. She gave us many recommendations for restaurants and shopping that were all wonderful. Her apartment has everything you could imagine to ensure that you have the best experience possible. The apartment has been newly renovated. It is clean and beautiful. The location is great. It is quiet for good sleeping. I could not more highly recommend this host and her apartment. I would stay here again!

It was a real pleasure to have you all as my guests and I hope to have the chance to replicate the experience very soon.

We couldn't have chosen a better place to stay while in Florence! The apartment is perfectly located - an easy walk to the train station, the central market, and all of the beautiful sites in Florence. It is also perfectly placed among great restaurants and cafes. We enjoyed leaving the windows open at night and the street below was incredibly quiet. Silvia was the perfect host. She was available to us, met us late the evening we arrived to acquaint ourselves with the apartment upon check-in. Above and beyond our expectations. The apartment is very up to date and well-furnished for being in an older building. So charming! We would love to return and stay here again!

Our stay in Florence was fantastic. We didn't want to leave. Silvia helped us up with our luggage and we had the best stay ever - we didn't want to leave.

Right in the heart of Florence. The apartment is very clean and our host Silvia is the best! Also walking distance to the train station if you are planning to get around Italy via train which we did. We made Florence our home-base and we took trains to Venice, Milan, Lake Como, and Rome. Too many to list, but to keep it short, we will be back again!

Close to a lot of good restaurants. Silvia was great, she welcomed us and gave us tips on restaurants and places to see. She frequently checked in with us to ensure everything was okay and responded quickly to our questions. I would highly recommend this place! Be prepared for the 63 steps.

Top notch!
The Marte Suite was exactly as advertised and reviewed. Very conveniently located β Duomo, museums, Central Market are all a short walk away. Apartment was updated, spotless, and very comfortable. Silvia is a lovely and very helpful host β really appreciated her orientation to the city and she booked an early am taxi for us to the airport. At her suggestion, we enjpyed a lovely dinner at Il Vecchio (a block away) and tasting local specialties at the food stalls at the Central Market. Great gelato around the corner on Ginori. Hope to stay longer next time!

Perfect in Florence
Our family of 3 stayed at Marte suite over the Holidays, and we couldnβt be more pleased! From the very beginning, Silvia was the perfect host. She came through with all our inquiries and even made dinner reservations for us since the restaurant didnβt allow online reservations. The flat was a short walk to the train station, and offered all amenities you need. It was quiet and safe yet centrally located to the beautiful churches, historical sites, museums, restaurants, groceries, and stores that made Florence one of our favorite cities. You wonβt regret staying here. Thank you, Silvia! Your flat was perfect and you were the ideal host! We canβt wait to go back!
