Marco's place was great--beautiful views -- quiet with easy bus access to all of central Florence. Be careful coming up Via Bolognese at the gas station (ENI) to take a sharp left up to Via Bolognese Vecchia (or Old Via Bolognese). You can buy bus tickets at the little market across from the gas station--next to the Post Office--and be sure to punch the ticket as soon as you board the 25 bus downtown. Our host, Marco, left us sparkling water, good tea and coffee and even a bottle of wine. The place was immaculately clean and well equipped. Very much worth while. (But visiting Florence in the summer better get Uffizi and Accademia tickets online in advance. we did and were very happy. Marco also told us about a smaller lesser known museum--the Bargello--with a small David by Donatello and the most fabulous alter ceramics we have ever seen. Ciao!
