Best location! This place is just how the pictures show. It was also very clean. The bathroom is small but works. The layout of the apartment is perfect and has a nice feel. It's big enough for two couples. Extremely quiet for noise sensitive ppl like me. You do hear the beautiful church bells but that will happen anywhere you stay in Florence. Absolutely no street or neighbor noise yet you are in the perfect location to walk to everything. It is on the 4th floor of a very neat old building. There is an elevator but even after walking all day we always took the stairs. The were part of the the charm.
Mario is just like the other reviewers have stated. A wonderful kind person who will explain where to eat, and give you any advice you are looking for. He answered our many questions and many times we messaged him with other questions too. Very fast replies. It was relief to have a cold bottle of water left for us in the fridge and a nice bottle of wine on the table. Wow what a great surprise. Thank you!
There are coffee, pastry, and sandwich shops right outside your door. Two large grocery stores in either direction. All sights very close walking distance. Great restaurants. Mario has very good restaurant ideas also. We would stay here again.
