Marco's place was great! The location is exceptional - we wanted to be able to walk to everything and we could easily trek all over the city from there. The Piazza is perfect (we had dogs with us and taking them there was really convenient). There are two markets very close by, and I will have to agree with the other reviews, the traffic is very loud in the front bedroom but not unexpected on a busy street, so if this will disturb you come with earplugs. This was the best value anywhere, for an apartment in Florence we thought it was very big! Charming neighbors, unbelievably beautiful garden - we'd recommend this place to everyone!!
