Marco offers a tidy, spacious and quiet apartment. He greeted us when we arrived early from the airport, letting us drop our bags as he explained the features. We left him to finish his immaculate preparations and went off to check out the neighbourhood.
Pergola Fiorentina is a walkable distance to major sites, from nearby San Marco and Santa Croce, the Sant’ Ambrogio market, the Bargello and the Duomo, to the more distant Ponte Vecchio, Orsanmichele and the Brancacci chapel. It sits between the no. 14 bus routes to and from the main railway station.
The neighbourhood is residential and the nearby restaurants were populated by locals as well as travelers. (On that note, if there was one suggestion for Marco, it would be to have ma more complete list of neighbourhood eateries and their coordinates, and to encourage guests to add their own finds.)
It was a joy to be there for a week. We highly recommend this apartment.
