We stayed at Marco’s place for 4 nights. It was a perfect stay. First, location, location and location. It is literally within a few minutes walk to Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio and Uffizi. We took strolls around these places when the crowd died down at night. Amazing feeling to be surrounded with so much history and art. There was a concert at the square one night and a parade of Dragon Boat event one afternoon. So much to see and experience. They all happened right around the corner! Second, Marco and his dad are very friendly hosts. Marco responded very quickly to help us with the reservations of taxi service. Taxi showed up right on time. We had a hot water issue (totally our mistake) and had to call Marco late at night. He was very helpful and very pleasant to talk with. The issue was resolved in a few minutes. Lastly, the apartment was very clean and nicely decorated. One can tell that the hosts have put a lot of thought to the apartment. I was pleasantly surprised to receive the instructions of apartment information in a personalized letter with my name and checkout date. Very nice personal touch! I wish the stay could have been longer. Will definitely recommend it and hopefully be back again to this impeccable apartment. Thanks!
