Marco and Patrizia's flat is an excellent base for exploring Florence. It is a private apartment with all the comforts of home, including a super comfortable bed and air conditioning (a lifesaver after a hot day of sightseeing). We especially appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, which helped us save lots of money on restaurant meals. Thanks to Marco for waiting for us a while after we got off the train and made our way to his flat. He was easy to reach on WhatsApp when we had questions about using the washer. Do be prepared to climb two flights of stairs to get to this apartment, but it's worth it.
