Mario could not be a more accommodating host. He met us at the door and went through each aspect of our stay and answered all of our questions.
Even though he lived away from town he offered to come any time if needed; he contacted us the next day to make sure the stay was going well. (His wife had even baked us a pie that was in the refrigerator when we arrived!)
The street below was quite noisy pretty late from some loud music and yelling a couple of nights; it kept my daughter up in the bedroom facing street side. But our neighbors in the building were very quiet. The street itself is not busy and is mostly local pedestrians.
The relative short hike to the train station was a huge plus for us. All of the major iconic central city sites were easily walked.
There are small grocers and an abundance of good neighborhood street food, cafes and bakeries. An early riser, I let the kids sleep and could have my cappuccino and pastry within seconds. Then stroll down the nearby Arno toward the Pont Vecchio.
This is simply a fantastic location with an attentive and able host. Would definitely stay here again!
Grazie Mario!
