Mario was the most thoughtful, generous and professional host. Mario met us at the station and had bought our tickets for the bus to the apartment and came with us. He had thought of everything anyone might need, maps, books, instructions for the apartment, even a cell phone for contacting him!! the apartment was as shown in the photo, close to transport, 2 train stops to city, shops, quiet etc. His wife was a lovely person and baked us a pie and they brought us a pizza for our last night! We would highly recommend the apartment and the hosts if you plan a trip to beautiful Florence. Mario and his wife will treat you in a very special way. Best stay ever!
