We choose this apartment, in part, because of the fantastic reviews the hosts received- and they don't begin to tell the whole story. The place itself is spacious, adequately though not luxuriously furnished, and very convenient to train and bus to historic 'downtown' Florence. But Mario and Anna are fantastic people and the experience of meeting them is a highlight of our trip. We are hoping to return to Florence one day - soon, I hope - and look forward to connecting with out new 'old friends' then.
