Mario was the best host I have ever met. He was very thoughtful and helpful. We were in Florence on the weekend so unfortunately the train/ bus schedule was not frequent. Other than that the location was perfect. It was really near the train station and the bus stop. Across the road there was the most delicious pastry shops I had come across in Italy. It's a must try if you stay in Mario's apmt. I understand every guest must had accepted different treats from Mario, but to complete my review I must list out the long list of Mario's thoughtful care to us. He provided us: a bottle of red wine, a bottle of champagne, a fruit tart, a cell with Italian number (with a greeting text from Mario everyday), and a family bus/ train ticket. Highly recommended to stay in Mario's place, especially for those who arrive by car. There is a big free car park just outside the apartment.
