Location is all it is claimed to be. Right in the heart of touristic Florence. The apartment is kinda unique in its layout and furnishings. The patio is awesome as to the view of the partial view of the duomo, with the view of other rooftops. If you like staying in the heart of the city and see the tourists in large numbers around you. And you also want access to everything as you enjoy being a tourist, then this is an ideal place for you. Marco was not around when we stayed, so did not meet him. But he was amazingly responsive on chat even though he was himself on vacation. He had a friend let us into the apartment and it was all good. Bottom-line. A unique apartment, right the heart of touristic Florence with a very helpful host. Recommended it
