The reason I booked this Airbnb is because off all the fine reviews given for The host, Mario. He did not disappoint. He was waiting when we arrived and very methodically explained the inner workings of his apartment for us. He left us a cake his wife made for us, fresh strawberries. And a larder of stocked supplies including milk and water. The location seemed a bit less than desirable at first, because it is next to a large parking structure and drainage channel, but we soon became accustomed to it and had short conversations in broken Italian with a few residents. I would describe the flat as 'Spartan.' It accommodated our needs, but not in a way that we felt pampered. It was, ok!!
Again: the high point of this rental is Mario!! He is a man of heart, caring and considerate. He went out of his way to demo the train ticket purchase steps for our return train tickets from Florence. The train station being so close also turned into a positive, and we used it frequently during our stay.
Overall- I recommend Mario as a host, and his apartment.
