I will start by saying that I did not take any pictures to post with this review as the listing photos are true and exactly what you will find once you open the door to Marco’s apartment. I dare to say, the actual place is more pretty and impressive in person.
We were a group of five, and felt extremely comfortable and safe during our stay. There’s two main bedrooms, each with a sink and a shower. In addition, there is a half bathroom in the hallway and a full bathroom by the main entrance; so in total 3 showers and two toilets. I slept in the queen sofa-bed, which is probably the most comfy sofa-bed I have ever slept on. I felt rested every morning and my back was not hurting at all. The same was for the rest of my party in their beds.
Did I already say this apartment was impeccable and spotless clean?! The owner left some snacks and juices which came in handy when we were somewhat hungry. The apartment was equipped with coffee, cleaning supplies, sugar and salt, cooking/eating tools, blow dryers, toiletries, and an iron/ironing board.
Now, the best part about this apartment is the LOCATION. Upon giving my taxi driver the address, he assured me our location was privileged. He was not kidding. We walked everywhere, including the train station, which saved us a lot of money. Fun fact: taxis are expensive in Italy.
The check-in and check-out processes were smooth and fast, and the staff let us store our bags on our last day while we visited some last places before heading out. I must say that the cleaning lady was charming and so helpful.
Our experience was so great and we were so impressed that we recommended the place to my nephew who is visiting Florence in two weeks. Thank you Marco!
