Mark's house is ideal for anyone wishing to visit Florence, and Mark fully deserves his Superhost status. He was there to welcome us when we arrived and took the time to show us everything we needed to know about the house and the neighbourhood (local shops and cafés, easiest way to the centre, etc.). We were astonished by the superb standard of equipment and facilities of the house, which has everything one can need, and more, for a short or long stay. Also of note was the cleanliness of the house, which was absolutely spotless. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was also very welcome as the temperature hardly dropped at night during the recent heat wave. The house is a 10-15 minute walk from the centre; it is located in a residential, sought-after quarter of Florence, close to the historic centre and the river Arno, which means it is perfect for relaxing in a quieter setting after spending a day out and about. There are some nice shops and restaurants nearby where mostly locals go - which is always a good sign. Also, it is close to the Oltrarno area and its trendy bars and restaurants.
The house is located in a small courtyard off the road with no traffic noise and few neighbours, so you're guaranteed to sleep well.
All in all, I would highly recommend Mark's house to anyone looking for comfortable, well-equipped accommodation in a quiet yet centrally located area, ideal to visit Florence from a local and authentic perspective.
