Mario was a fantastic host. He met us at the train station very early in the morning and led us to the apartment. The apartment was as described, quiet and clean. It was only a quick train ride or a less quick (about 20 minutes) bus ride into train town. Mario was incredibley gracious, providing us with information on the city and actually playing tour guide for us one day. I really enjoyed getting to know him better, while enjoying our time in Florence. I would definitely stay at Mario's place again.
