I have spent an amazing week in Florence staying at Cris and Marco's. They are truly welcoming hosts and wonderful people to be around. They have helped me with everything I have needed and have also been very accommodating.
Cris and Marco's home has an ideal location. It's a few minutes walk from Santa Maria Novella Train Station and even closer to the bus station (Pullman) that takes you to places like Siena and Tuscany villages, which makes incredibly easy to travel to other destinations or going for one day trips.
The flat is charming and full of personality, very clean and tidy, The room is really cozy, spacious and very comfortable and there is a lot of silence to have a good rest at night. You can easily walk to the main attractions. It could be a 10-20 minutes walk depending on your destination, although you have the bus stop round the corner if you do not want to do too much walking. I got the Carta Agile, 10 trips, 10 Euros. Very convenient and cheaper than buying single tickets. Pay attention to the good information that Cristiana provides on your arrival regarding sightseeing and places to eat, as you will be able to fully enjoy Florence and discover places that you wouldn't otherwise.
One of the things I particularly enjoyed was having breakfast with Cris and Marco every morning. I felt I was visiting some friends and we were catching up on life, The food offered was lovely and varied, The fresh, home-made croissants delicious!
On a nutshell: perfect location, lovely room, yummy breakfast, good night sleep, great tips on places in Florence, the cutest cat ever, Micromilla, and above all the warmth and friendliness of two incredible people: Cris and Marco. I cannot wait to go back to Florence and stay with them again.
