We had a pleasant yet short stay at Marco’s apartment. It is situated in a bustling area, which is very close walking distance to key attractions in Firenze. There are plenty of places to find meals, including the main market! We didn’t cook in the apartment, so I am unable to provide notes. However, there is a good-sized mini fridge with freezer that works well and an induction stove to make cleanup easy. It was a bit chilly during our stay, but the Samsung heaters in each room should help. The stairs are exactly as noted. We thought of it as incentive to eat more pasta and then walk it off :) There is an “interesting” smell to the tap water in Firenze—seems everywhere we’ve been in Tuscany—so, even though it is drinkable, we opted to buy large bottles of still water from Conad’s. Lastly, Elena was a very proactive, responsive, friendly, punctual, and helpful. She made the check-in process ever so smooth. I would highly recommend Marco’s apartment for folks for a stay in Firenze.
