Marco was a great host and our apartment was beautiful. There are lots of books and art and common spaces with ample furniture. The bedrooms were spacious and there were two good sized bathrooms. The kitchen included some niceties like coffee biscuits and jam for our breakfast. Marco loves his city and had many recommendations to share, plus maps. The bus stop is right outside less than a block away - just take care with the 14 bus line. It makes multiple stops in central Florence so you can visit everything with ease, but it only returns to the apartment from the San Marco stop. We had to do some bus hopping to get back from other stops while traveling with someone who couldn't easily walk 30 minutes from one city location to another. Overall, though, we had a fantastic stay and I'd highly recommend his apartment.
