Marco's place was absolutely perfect for our 3 night stay in Florence. It was clean, within walking distance of everything we needed, and even more adorable than the pictures can portray. It had the exact "Florence feel" that we were looking for! It is a climb up multiple flights of stairs to reach the unit; however, we appreciated being this high as it was far away from the noise of the bustling city below. It was so neat to exit the doors of our peaceful apartment and enter the busy city! Two large windows open from the kitchen/living room area for a view of the city's rooftops. You can even hear the church bells of the Duomo ringing from these windows. Two very small negatives: First, we had a little trouble finding the place. There appeared to be 2 locations for the address provided. We were waiting at the wrong location for a while before we discovered this. I'd suggest to ask Marco to provide some landmarks to help find the place. Second, the washer/dryer unit was very difficult for us to figure out. They did provide an instructions manual; but, a brief orientation to the unit during check-in would have been helpful. These were very minor issues, though, and overall we HIGHLY recommend Marcos place. It is an incredible value for the quality! Our favorite place we stayed during our 3 week trip throughout Europe.
