We loved our stay at Chiara and Mauro’s place in Florence! Mauro was very flexible and allowed us to check in early after our train arrived in Florence. He also helped carry our luggage up the stairs and provided many recommendations for restaurants and areas to explore. Mauro was so knowledgeable and helpful, which we really appreciated. Additionally, the apartment was clean and had lots of kitchen items and extra pillows, sheets, and towels. We enjoyed th location because it was about a 10 minute walk from the duomo, so it was fairly quiet at night and closer to more local restaurants. It really was the best of both worlds for us: a short walk to all the main attractions but far enough away to provide a more authentic Florence experience. I would definitely recommend Chiara and Mauro’s place!
