When we landed in Florence, Mauro was busy and had communicated well in advance that his friend, Federico will be meeting us and helping us settle in. It was a 10 minute walk from the Firenze S M Novella station to Mauro's place (and it is pretty easy to get to his place).

We arrived to find biscuits that Mauro had left for us and that was a nice, welcome touch. Thank you for that!

Federico showed us all that we needed to know and after that, it was super easy to settle in. We met Mauro only once on the penultimate day of our stay, but it was really nice to meet him. He also made us feel very welcome and was constantly in touch, checking to see if everything was okay.

The room is comfortable, cozy, bright and was awesome to stay at. We loved our stay in Florence and if we return, I'd love to stay at Mauro's place once again.
