I stayed in Mario's apartment for 6 nights in Jun 18. Mario was an outstanding host - his pre visit communication was great and he met us as previously agreed. We were pleasantly surprised by Mario's apartment - it was just as the photos and description had indicated, was spotlessly clean and was equipped with all the necessary amenities. Mario gave a detailed tour of the apartment - showed us where everything was and even provided us with some orange juice, 6 bottles of water in the fridge and a lovely welcome bottle of wine ! This made us feel very welcome indeed ! In addition, Mario provided a good brief on Florence and recommended some local restaurants and markets that we could try.
The apartment location is fantastic. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from the Florence central railway station but is no more than a 10 minute walk to all of the Florence attractions. For example, the Accademia Gallery is only is only 2 blocks away and the Uffizi Gallery is only a 10 minute walk. An ideal location !
Marion checked on us regularly throughout our stay and even dropped by to provide us with a second bottle of wine......unbelievably thoughtful !!! On departure, Mario attended as agreed and thanked us for staying at his place. In fact, we were very lucky to have selected a great apartment in a perfect location and with a wonderful host !!!
I wholehearted recommend Mario and his apartment to any Airbnbers who are looking to visit Florence. You cannot get better !
