Marco’s apartment is immaculately clean, modern, comfortable and well-appointed. It had everything we needed for a short stay in Florence. It is located in a less-touristy area of the city, south of the river, but still a short walk to the main attractions. The neighborhood has loads of choices for food, gelato, cafes and shops. I will say that I am glad we did not try to have a car in the city - it would have been very difficult to park in the area.
