I really enjoyed my stay at Mario’s place. He was an extremely good host. He met me at the door for check in, left wine and chocolates and recommendations for restaurants. His place was ideally located, with in walking distance to all of the major Florence attractions. My one small caveat, would be that there were more stairs inside than I expected from the photos. I am 64 years old and was trying to avoid as many stairs as possible during my travels. But, it turned out not to be an issue at all, because he helped me carry my suitcase up the stairs. The kitchen was extremely well outfitted, as was the rest of his place, for everything that you could need for a longer stay.
I was there for two weeks and could’ve happily stayed another month or two! I highly recommend Mario’s wonderful apartment.
