Marco's place is probably in the best location one can ask for in Florence. Few minutes walk from the Duomo or SMN train station or SMN Basilica and around the corner from St.Lorenzo Basilica and Mercato Centrale. The Ponte Veccio, Uffizi, Accademia and shopping streets are no more than 10 mins away.
The place is well kept, rustic, clean, fairly large and with a patio. The apartment has old wooden ceilings and beautiful terracotta floor tiles. There's tons of restaurants and bars around and a good gelato place right opposite.
Marco is a wonderful host and helped use settle in by recommending a few restaurants and gelato places as well as the wines from the region that we must try.
The proximity of the apartment to most places meant we could head back for a quick rest when needed. The place is also perfect if you wish to host a few friends over lunch\dinner during your stay in Florence.
I highly recommend Marco's place to anyone visiting Florence for the first time... or anytime.
Notes to guests:
Recommend that you unlock the outer door in Marco's presence at least once. #flyingkeys
