We were very happy with Marco's place. It was very clean, new appliance, newly remodeled bathrooms (one full one half), great communication with host (Marco was not in town but his friend was very helpful checkin us in) the location is away from the tourist area but just on the other side of the river with walking distance or bus stop is right in front of the apartment. nice restaurants, supermarket near by. We couldn't be happier at his place, will definitely recommend to anyone coming to Florence!
