Mario was a great host! He was so gracious as to meet us at the train station when we arrived and drive us to the apartment. He also drove my friends to the airport as an extra favor. The apartment is a bit outside town, but it is right next to the train station and it is a 10 minute ride into the city. Mario's wife baked us a pie and there were chocolates for us in the apartment when we arrived. Also he texted to check in during the day which I appreciated. Would definitely recommend Mario's place for up to four people when visiting Florence!
