Excellent value, very clean, great location!
Cleanliness: The place was spotless and felt brand new. My travel mate is a germaphobe and she was very comfortable at Marco's apartment.
Location: You can't beat it. It's a 13 minute walk from the train station and you are two bridges down from Ponte Vecchio. It's about a 15 minute walk to the Duomo. We even walked to Michelangelo's Piazza from the apartment. Also, be sure to check out two nearby restaurants - Dante's for dining and La Caraia for gelato. It was the best I had in Italy.
Amenities: There was a washing machine, which was great since we were backpacking and needed to do a load of laundry. Also there are ye bathrooms which was so nice. The kitchen is nice and big, and there are plenty of dishes and cookware. Also, there is a whole shelf of books with visitor info. So helpful.
Hospitality: Giovanni met us at the door and got us checked in and settled. We were provided a bottle of wine and a bag of biscotti, which was such a wonderful nice touch. Also, I accidentally left a bag behind and Marco mailed it to me the next day. Truly above and beyond hospitality! I highly recommend staying here!
