Excellent apartment. We would recommend for anyone staying in Florence. I picked it after reading many reviews of places north of the Arno being too noisy. We much preferred the Oltrarno region for less tourists and better food. It was very easy to walk to all major tourist attractions. Marco was very easy to communicate with. His parents met us and let us in to the apartment. It was spotless, large, cool with air conditioning and great to be able to do our laundry. We thought the apartment was even better in person than it looked in the photos.
