I can't imagine a nicer place to stay in Florence. Mauro is a fantastic host. He gave us a perfect orientation to Florence, had wonderful resources, and kept us informed of events that came up during our stay. All of his recommendations were wonderful. The room was peaceful, comfortable, bright, and spacious and we enjoyed breakfast on the small terrace in the morning. The apartment has three rooms and we met nice people while staying there. The location is just a 15 minute walk to the center of Florence, very close to Santa Maria Novella and the train station so it's quite convenient. We walked everywhere. I highly recommend Mauro and hope I will return again soon.
