Mauro greeted us and made us feel so welcome at Casa Lily. He gave us a personal orientation to the area and a map, and there was a wealth of other info there as well, which was so helpful! The apartment was so beautiful and comfortable, with everything you could want or need. It is in a great location, with a daily indoor and outdoor market for produce and all kinds of other interesting things, literally outside the front door. The neighborhood is a "real" neighborhood and does not feel touristy, but it is so close to everything you want to see and do - we walked everywhere while we were here. We loved the beautiful city of Florence and Casa Lily, and would love to return.
