Mauro was such a great host. He gave me many tips/maps on what to see & do in Florence. His home is ideally located! I walked everywhere easily from his home. The room was very spacious, clean and quiet and in a completely safe neighborhood.
Mauro speaks/understands english very well.
The morning that I was leaving the Pope was coming to Florence. Mauro attempted to call a taxi for me but because many of the barricaded roads a taxi could not come. Mauro was so kind to walk me to the bus stop and get me on the right bus to get to the train station. I highly recommend a stay with Mauro.
