MATTEL IS THE BEST HOST EVER! He was really sweet and offered to pick us from the train station to the apartment. Before reaching the apartment, he even brought us to the highest point of Florence to catch a glimpse of the city. Once we got back, we showed us around the house. He even prepared welcome food and wine for us. It was really warm. The house was superb and very nicely decorated. Most of the items were designed by him. The bed was super comfortable. He also gave us a list of places near the apartment that provides good food. Supermarket is nearby and the town is only a distance away. There are buses near the house that bring us to train station as well. A very good location. We love the house and the host very much! Highly recommended and would love to go back to Florence again!
