Marco was a terrific host. Very helpful in advising on getting tickets and he arranged for a taxi to take me to the airport (one that would accept a credit card). He had a binder that was charmingly illustrated by his mother and it included information about local places to eat and markets, etc. The place looked just like it did in the pictures. And the location was absolutely perfect. Close to the Uffizi and the Arno. You won't be disappointed!
