Mario's apartment was spacious and fully equipped - stove, microwave, fridge, hairdryer and even a local handphone for our use. He bought yogurt, melons and a whole block of ice cream for us :)) He is too kind!
His apartment was located quite conveniently, 2 stops to SMN station - 10min away. You will need to work along the train schedules (hourly intervals from mon to sat) or take the bus - 30 min from SMN. The apartment was a 10 min walk away from a big supermart and a 5 min walk from a lovely looking patisserie that sells bus/train tickets too.
Mario was very clear with instructions. While his spoken English was so-so, all clarifications made through SMS was very clear. He is extremely kind and generous, asking us what we needed everyday, offering us a ride when he was gg to SMN, and sending us to the airport on our last day! He is such a nice man!
We will definitely come back to Florence and Mario's place is def our choice!
