The location was super great: close to the central railway station and in a 5-min walf from the first sightseeing place. The host, Marco, was the most amiable person I had met during my Italian trip. He was welcoming and helped with everything. I would return to Florence again and choose Marco’s hotel 100%!

A bit too noisy at night. My windows faced the street and the noise was quite loud. But it is okay when you stay 3 nights.

The location is perfect. It is located about one block from the train station. A 2 minute walk. Perfect for us because we had big suitcases. Very convenient location all around. Our room was on the top floor and very private and quiet. Marco and Pardis are very nice and hepful people. Marco even went above and beyond helpful when he arranged for us to stay at another place for two more nights bc he didn't have availability in his apts. They also keep a stocked kitchen and they have a washer and dryer for an extra few Euros. We felt very comfortable there.

There are three flights of stairs to our room on the top floor. Thankfully, Marco was kind enough to carry our very heavy suitcase all the way up and back down when we left.

First and foremost the host was very kind and helpful. Also, we were allowed to store our luggage after check out until we departed from the city. Also, there were snacks and a tea selection to choose from. In addition, there is a common kitchen if someone wishes to cook. The room was spacious and the bathroom was modern and clean. Overall a great experience. It is highly recommended.

Marco is a wonderful host, and we had a great stay. Marco's Way is a great location and has close access to many of the Florence highlights. The bed was very comfortable, and access to the kitchen facilities and the option of laundry service was a treat too.

Great spot near station and well stocked 2 supermarkets, quiet side street, lots of room, windows that open, air con works well, comfortable bed and clean. Kettle and fridge in room. Shower pressure and temperature were adequate. Fantastic staff who were very helpful and friendly. Common living room area had kitchenette with utensils and tea coffee facilities and washing machine.

Problems with toilet flushing (buttons would often get stuck), no usb next to bed (although my friend had one in her room). No lift (Marco was very kind and took our bags up the 3 flights of stairs...).

The price is great for what this place offers. The rooms are nice and clean with very good working AC units - unlike many other places we stayed at in Italy and Florence. The location is just 5 minutes or less from SMN Centrale train station, with access to the tram, busses, taxis, ubers, scooters and bikes. There is everything you need within 10 minutes walk from supermarkets, vodaphone, laundry, restaurants bars and much more. The Mercato Centrale is also very close. It takes about 10 - 15 minutes to get to the Duomo and the central tourist area. best part of our stay at Marcos Way was the host, Marco, and his concierge, Musta. Marco and Musta were both exceedingly helpful to me and my partner in so many ways I can't do them justice. Suffice it to say that each of them went above and beyond what I expected and made our stay easy enjoyable and memorable. I highly suggest staying at Marcos Way!

The upstairs kitchen could use a few more essential functional items such as some more wooden or plastic ware so that one can mix items without scratching the non stick pan that was there. I would also suggest a few more pans and pots and a couple big cutting boards, some good sharp knives of different sizes and a pasta strainer.

From the moment we arrived Marco and his team were nothing but kind and helpful, Marco gave us a list of many recommendations for different spots around the city and even told us some attractions to see which we would not have done otherwise. The room was great, we had a new room and it was large and had everything we needed. Marco checked in each day to see if we needed anything and even took care of our washing for us. It was in a great location and very close to everything needed, the street right around the corner was the start of the main town. Would recommend anyone I know going to Florence to stay here.

Could not fault anything!

We met with the host at the building, as previously agreed. He was very friendly and provided also a lot of information about Florence (including some hidden gems), all drawn on a map, so that we were able to find it after. Since there where 3 doors to unlock, one with a special looking key, we were also shown how to to unlock everything. All in all very through and very nice. The building is a few minutes away from the main train station and is close to grocery shops and 5-10min walking distance to popular historical attractions. The room is huge and clean and also recently completely renovated, so it looked very nice. It comes with all the comfort one needs for such a trip. We also had no issues with the internet. In the bathroom, there are multi-country power plugs (if I'm not mistaken, even for US).

It has some older windows, which give it a nice feel, but they are poor at blocking noise. And since there's a busier road next to the building, it can get loud from time to time. Not too bad, but it was noticed. Also am not sure, how exactly the warm water works - exactly when we needed it the most, there was none; while on other occasion there was no problem with it. Might have been an exception, but it was at the worst moment for us. Anyway, nothing too problematic - it happens.
