this apartment is perfectly located and central to all the Florence attractions, close to many restaurants and easy to use as a base for exploring Florence. It feels like a retreat within the city, although it is in a very busy area and directly behind Uffizi. The apartment is very clean, very comfortable, just 2 small flights of stairs up. The living and bedroom areas are surprisingly spacious and there was everything we needed in the kitchen, so we cooked some of our own meals with ease. Marco is a lovely guy, very charming and he was so helpful! He responded to a few questions we had very promptly, made restaurant reservation for us and even helped us to find the location of Giro D'Italia that was in town one day, we had lots of problems finding it on the website, but Marco spent time looking into it for us and we got there. His mother has made an amazing illustrated book that is most useful, with suggestions which we followed and they were great. We would recommend Marco's place for a centrally located stay in Florence.
