Mario was an excellent host, helped with my luggage, offered advice, etc. The apartment was perfectly clean, comfortable and well equipped. All necessities were provided including toiletries, cooking utensils and even condiments. (Mario also provided a gift basket of treats and wine.) The apartment is in the center of metropolitan Firenze, very convenient to the Santa Maria Novella train station, etc., yet very quiet and peaceful at night. Excellent stay, highly recommended.
