Mauro was right on time with meeting me at his flat. He is very nice, and gave me many suggestions and current events to do in the city. The room is immaculate and very clean - just as it is pictured and very spacious! The bed is so comfortable, and everything in the flat is tastefully designed. It definitely felt like home. It's only a 20 minute walk to the duomo and about 15 to the Santa Maria Novella station - just a straight shot and very easy to navigate around. It's a great value for what you get! I highly recommend.
