Marco's place was clean and well-furnished. There is a terrace upstairs where you can have a drink and admire the Duomo. There is aircon to keep the place cool throughout summer. The apartment is located in the heart of Florence - only a few steps from the Duomo and a short walk to the Uffizi Gallery, Statue of David and Arno River. The area is touristy so you do hear some street life and the church bells. Marco was easy to communicate with. He met us at the apartment and answered all our questions.
