We understood why Marc is a superhost. From the start, he has been very prompt in replying to us, giving us tips, suggestions and alternatives on how to go about with our trip.

We were surprised and appreciated it much when Marc offered to pick us up at the train station so he could walk with us back to his apartment. Marc was at the end of the platform when we arrived and gave us a quick tour of the area while we walk back to his apartment. The walk to his apartment was very easy to remember and you'd feel safe going around town. Near the corner of his apartment was a mini mart. At his apartment, he showed us around and then gave us additional tips and map on where we could go around since we arrived in the afternoon on a Sunday. The listing was exactly as it was and the place was very clean. Fresh towels and linens were part of our welcome package along with water bottles at our disposal courtesy of Marc.

Marc also suggested the Santa Maria Novella Church and the Santa Maria Cathedral del Fiore wherein we could here mass by 6pm. After the mass, we went around and walk to Ponte Vecchio and then made our way back to Marc's apartment. Despite it being quite late, we felt that it was safe.
