Our overall experience is rated 5 stars due to our wonderful host Mario and his gracious wife Anna. The apartment is good, basic housing ideally located near the train station (offering free parking for tourists with a rental car), bus stop, shops and a cafe. The apartment was well-stocked with basic starter supplies like coffee and juice, and we left unused foods for the next tenants. There is excellent tourist information in the bookshelves and a computer and Wifi to help plan your visit.
My husband, his 90 year-old mother and I planned a week exploring Florence and the Tuscan countryside prior to a 2 week cruise. My husband wasn't feeling well from the start and on day 4 was admitted to the hospital in mid-heart attack. He had an emergency angioplasty with two stents implanted and spent a total of 6 days in the hospital.
Mario was my lifeline during this unbelievably stressful time. He helped with transportation, checked in at the hospital, redirected me by texting when I became lost in Florence, helped us move to a hotel near the hospital and supported me in many other ways. Dear Anna wanted to take Mom home with her so I could dash back and forth to the hospital.
It is impossible to overstate how thankful I am to have had the privilege of meeting Mario and Anna Errico. I highly recommend not only these fine people as hosts, but their apartment for its location, basic comforts and reasonable cost.
