| We just returned from Italy and spent 5 fabulous nights in Mery's lovely apartment. It was perfect for the 6 of us (my husband, our 2 kids and my parents) and we couldn't have been more pleased with the location. It's just steps to Ponte Vecchio, the Piti Palace and just about anything else you could need or want in Florence. Mery is a gracious host and so helpful and kind. We would all highly recommend this apartment. It was home away from home and we miss it already. Don't leave without buying some of Mery's beautiful ceramics! I'm waiting for my box to arrive so I can show off my pieces! Grazie mille Mery!! |

| My family of 7 recently stayed at the apt. The location if fabulous, one can walk everywhere. The apartment is very comfortable and well equipped. Mery is incredibly welcoming and with very good suggestions of where to eat. If you want to visit the Academia and Uffizi, ask Mery to make the reservations as you will save the internet fee. Great Place!! |

| We recently rented this apartment for three nights. We were very pleased. The location was perfect for our family of five. We had plenty of room and everything was very clean. I don't think you could find a better location in Florence. We were able to walk everywhere. Not only were the historical sights easy to get to but there were great restaurants and shopping all around us. The pastry shop directly across the street was fabulous. The food was delicious and the prices were reasonable. Mery, the owner of our apartment, was very sweet and helpful. She speaks excellent English and she made us feel very comfortable and was always available to help us with our many questions. We hope to return to Florence some day and this will definitely be the place we stay. We made an excellent choice when we chose this apartment!! |

We, a family of five adults, traveled to Italy for a two week adventure! The last five days of our trip were spent in Florence, and when we arrived at Mery’s apartment, we felt like we had arrived home. Mery and her family treated us like family and made Florence the most memorable city of our adventure. Mery was always available to give directions or offer suggestions for good places to visit. The apartment was lovely with plenty of room for five adults to feel comfortable and stay out of each other’s way. The location is perfect to allow walking almost anywhere. We would highly recommend this apartment to anyone traveling to this area! We would also love to have a repeat visit in the future. Thank you Mery!

| Our group of 4 adults was very happy in our clean, comfortable, and well-equipped Florence apartment. Mery was a wonderful hostess and was always available to answer our questions. The location of the apartment was great as well. I'll definitely stay there again when I'm back in Florence. |

This apartment is in the perfect location, was spotless, quiet and comfortable, and Mery is a gracious and kind host. We could not have been more pleased. It is located a block from the Ponte Vecchio so just a five minute walk to the Duomo, a couple of minutes to the Uffizi. There were many good and reasonable restaurants within four blocks. An espresso and pastry shop right across the street was a great morning start.
The apartment was spotlessly clean. Very, very comfortable beds and pillows. The back two bedrooms are very quiet because they are above a courtyard. Wonderful. Mery doesn't show it in the pictures but there is a large dining table with six chairs.
Mery is a sweetheart, kind, and gave us good recommendations for restaurants.
Thank you, Mery, for a great stay. |

| The flat had three bedrooms and two bathrooms and can easily accomodate 6 to 7 people. We only had it for 4 nights but would have preferred to stay a week or longer. Excellent location near Ponte Vecchio and jewelery stores. High recommend |

After researching for an ideal location in Florence
that was close to all the action, the shopping, the
train station, but not on crowded streets, I found
this fantastic location. It is perfectly situated just
one block away on the same street of the Ponte
Vecchio which has the most amazing jewelry
shopping. On the other side of the bridge towards
the Duomo and Uffizi are the great fashion stores
of Florence, all the famous labels can be found. On
the side of the bridge where the apartment is, one
finds all the artisan/craftsman type stores, again,
amazing shopping and I am not a shopper.
Mery, the owner of the ceramic shop below, was a
most gracious host, and had a nice gift waiting for
the six of us upon arrival which we "shared" with
her. She was very sweet, helpful, and made the
required reservations for the museums, and taxi
service. When we asked Mery "where would you
eat?", Mery directed us to a great Tuscan restaurant
where she takes her own family when in town to
visit; it was a great restaurant, and value as well.
Mery is a great ceramic artisan and designs and
creates all the ceramics pieces in her shop below.
The apartment itself was great, very clean and
spacious, and fully functional. It felt like being at
home away from home. It housed the six of us (all
adults) nicely. It is so convenient that if a wife and
husband went out shopping, the husband could
take the bags from the wife and walk back to leave
them in the flat, and return to the wife within
minutes! There were cafes, restaurants and pastry
shops down below on the street, as well as wine
shops, and even pizza places that we utilized well.
Also, we cooked a feast on our last night there, it
was a fantastic meal that we will always remember.
I would recommend this location to anyone, and we
will definitely be back again, next time with the
kids.
Thank you Mery |

| Although I haven't stayed in this particular apartment, I have recently stayed in the building and the apartment is supposedly similar to the one I stayed in. It is a quiet building just off a courtyard and I found it a lovely respite from the hectic pace of Florence. Mery, the owner, is a delight! She owns the ceramic shop and is friendly, very helpful and dependable. Her husband is great too. I would recommend her place or the other flat she manages anytime! Large, clean, and quiet. |

| "El apartamento está excelentemente situado junto al puente Vecchio, lo cual permite ir a pie a cualquiera de los lugares de interés de Florencia. El edificio es antiguo pero el piso está bien acondicionado, es espacioso y confortable, sólo se echa de menos algo más de luz eléctrica en la zona de la cocina. La propietaria es sumamente amable y ayuda a hacer la estancia agradable. En definitiva, muy recomendable para una familia de hasta 5-6 personas y a un precio no demasiado alto. Si vuelvo a Florencia repetiría con gusto." |
