Mario was a wonderful host! He picked us up from the train station and rode the subway with us to the station just near his apartment. He took the time to explain everything to us, give us some suggestions while in the city, and make sure we were comfortable. His wife made us a delicious lemon pie and he brought us some fruits and milk. He went above and beyond, giving us a cell phone to contact him with if we needed anything. He checked on us throughout our stay and each time we had a question about the apartment or a problem with the hot water he would immediately come to help us. I will recommend his apartment to any friends that are planning to visit Florence in the future!
