We very much enjoyed our stay at Mario's apartment. It fit our needs very well. Our group appreciated the space and amenities (2 private bedrooms / 2 full bathrooms). Although the neighborhood is busy, the apartment is quiet. Though not in one of the trendiest areas of Florence, it was centrally located for everything we wanted to do in town, and was quite close to the train station, allowing us to save on taxi fees. Mario greeted us personally and explained the workings of the apartment, and was able to communicate with us effectively in English.
