Marco's place was incredibly beautiful and elegant, and the photos only touched the surface of how lovely the ceiling fresco is. It was comfortable and had a good mix of cool antique vibe and relaxing chill feel. The street outside was pretty busy, but you would never know it from the peace of the inner rooms. The kitchen was well put together with everything you'd need for a longer stay and the Cafe next door has great pastries and coffee as bonus. I have already recommended it to three of my friends who are coming through Florence and have every intention of staying there again in the future!
