Mario picked the two of us up from the Firenze SMN train station and guided us back to the apartment (2 stops away) and gave us lots of info on the public transport including a timetable from the stop which is directly next to the apartment.

The apartment had everything we needed, including a grocery store (LIDL) within a 10 minute walk. The neighborhood was quiet and provided a nice break from the busy central tourist area.

Mario checked on us via text with a cell phone he provided us to see that we were comfortable and even provided a bottle of bubbly and a homemade lemon pie from his wife, Anna!

We couldn't have asked for a more gracious host.

Thank you Mario and Anna!
