We had a wonderfull stay of 5 days in Marco's loft. He is a perfect host: very quick and friendly in the communication. His directions how to reach the loft were very helpfull. Though our GPS guided us very well.
The bus stop in front of the building is very convenient to make trips into the centre of Florence. But don't forget to explore the wonderfull little towns north-nortwest of Florence: Fiesole, Prato, Pistoia and Lucca. And Pisa of course! We also visited San Gimignano which is 115 minutes by car and is beautifull but in the summer crowded with tourists.
The entrance way to the loft and the private parking space is very narrow, but with a little car you get used to it. The loft itself consists of one big space to cook, eat and sleep. And a separate beautifull modern bathroom with everything to it. There are no easy chairs or a couch to sit, so you have to lay on the bed or sit on a wooden kitchen chair. You have your own entrance and we have'nt seen or heard neighbours at all. There is a very small table and 2 bistrot chairs outside so one night we had dinner with a marvellous look at the Tuscan hills. But beware of the little musquitos.
In Florence: don't forget to visit the Boboli gardens. And buy your tickets to the Uffizi at the ticket office of the Palazzo Pitti: you pay 4 euros extra but you can choose your own time slot and don't have to stand in line for 1,5 hour before the Uffizi museum. We used that time to visit the Boboli gardens early in the morning.
Marco: again our thanks for your hospitality! Caio from Holland and arriverderci.
