My stay at Mauro’s was great. Although I did not get to meet Mauro, I met his friend Marco who was extremely friendly and helpful. He went through all of the places I shouldn’t miss while in Florence, and even gave me tips on which piazzas to check out for night life. The location of this space is a plus, it’s only about a 15 minute walk to city center. As a female solo traveler, I felt safe here and it is definitely worth the stay.
