Staying at Mauro's was absolutely wonderful. The house is beautifully decorated and Mauro had great tips for experiencing great cultural events around the city. Thanks to his advice about box office hours and events, I was able to catch an Opera and an orchestral performance. He had great resources for restaurants as well. It was a perfect place to enjoy Florence as I was able to walk everywhere and get around so easily. I felt so at home in Florence and loved my stay.
