Mauro is an excellent host. He kept me up to date with all the things that were going on in Florence during my month long stay, along with recommendations for the best places to eat and visit. The apartment and room are both immaculate and exactly as described and I loved the shared kitchen area as it meant you could catch up with other guests when they were around. It's only a 15 min walk to central Florence and also very close to the beautiful park and train station so great for getting around.
