This is an incredibly charming place to stay. Situated footsteps away from a train station (Firenze Castello) which is two stops away from downtown Florence (Firenze), it’s in a perfect location without the steep prices. Mario is the perfect host. He was extremely communicative and helpful during our trip. Our flight was delayed (due to airport worker strikes) 8 hours and Mario picked us up at the nearby airport at 4:30 in the morning. He gave us a great run down of the apartment and Florence. The fridge had fresh water and a lemon tart made by his wife. Air conditioning is available (ask how to use) in warm months. Shower had hot water and already had some soap and shampoo. The nearby cafe and bakery Nero (sp?) was delicious. Make sure to learn the bus times/train times so you can plan your day trips effectively. Great place to stay ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
