If you have an opportunity to stay at Marco’s during your visit to Florence, I would absolutely recommend doing so! He was extremely accommodating to our group’s early arrival and allowed us to store our bags while cleaning was happening. We had the opportunity to meet Marco’s parents as well and they were both very helpful throughout check in and provided us with many local recommendations. There was plenty of space for a group of 4 with multiple beds and bathrooms. The apartment is within walking distance of a great number of shopping areas and just a short walk across the bridge to the larger museums and more touristy areas.
