If you relish the idea of staying in a 15th Century palazzo in Florence, within walking distance of all major sites, and with cordial hosts and lovely amenities, then Mario's apartment is for you! We stayed for a week and were thoroughly pleased: the apartment is everything represented in the description -- and more, because of the thoughtful and welcoming hospitality of the hosts. Mario and his brother, Paulo, were quickly and helpfully responsive to all of our communications; and they clearly strive, by furnishing both expected and unexpected amenities, to ensure a delightful stay. The living room and loft bedroom are well-designed, comfortable and beautifully furnished. The baths are modern and well-stocked with robes and towels. And the large kitchen features not only the basics of cooking and serving equipment but also welcoming wine, strawberries (in season!), coffee for a Nespresso machine, milk, water, snacks, and the ingredients for a pasta dinner! This is a great place in a great city, and we would certainly choose it again in the future.
