Mario is a great host, very welcoming and supportive. The pre-stay dialog with him was easy and clear. He picked me up at the airport; although it is only a few km driving distance, this is very convenient. During the check-in, he provide all necessary information in a relaxed and kind way. He made sure I had all contact details (and even a local phone) to get to him if that should be necessary - which it was not, since everything in the apartment and surround worked out well. The apartment has what is needed and I had a very nice stay. I appreciated the opportunity to run in the nearby hills in the early morning, and reasonable restaurants, coffee bars, and grocery stores made things very easy. The apartment is quiet, but being on the ground floor, I could not really use the small balcony in the kitchen (it was to hot, anyway, during my stay). I had nearby business, but it would have been very convenient to use the place as a base to explore Florence, if I had wanted to. Next time I am in the area I will definitely come back.
