The host gets 5 stars for everything from me, even the location. You do not have to drag your luggage along the pebbled winding old streets of the city like many struggling tourists. Both the train station and bus stop are 1 minute away so this apartment lets you enjoy the best of the both world: quiet sleep at night and convenience of the city. There is nothing to warn about Mario’s apartment so let me share my ugly experience at the central market near the Firenze Santa Maria. At a vegetable and fruit stall, I opened my wallet. A woman suddenly reached in, snatched an Euro note and forced a half spoiled fruits onto me. She had a long black curly hair working with another girl who wore scarf over her head. At another stall where fruits are packaged neatly, a middle aged woman with sand hair was selling expensive cherries from Emilia-Romana. However, it was bait and switch. She would hand you more cheaper and inferior cherries claiming they are the same. I found out that it was a lie because I later visited a market in Emilia-Romana and confirmed my suspicion.
