Marco's apartment is clean, although small, yet functional. The downside is that it is a fourth storey apartment without a lift, which, when carrying your luggage up in 43C is rather unpleasant and could be very difficult for the elderly or infirm. After walking for many hours around Florence the stair climb can be rather exhausting. The air conditioning units could do with upgrading as, again, with such high Florentine summer temperatures, is insufficient.
Apart from the above, the location is fantastic. The Duomo, Mercato Centrale, train station, shops, bars, restaurants and Ponte Vecchio are all within an easy walk.
Marco is very helpful and speaks very good English........communication was great. Very good value for money.
