Mario's apartment has an excellent location. It is situated just outside of Florence in Sesto Fiorentino. It is a 2 minute walk to either the bus stop or train station. It is 11 minutes by train or 25 minutes by bus to Santa Maria Novella train station in the center of Florence. Having a car in Florence is difficult as parking is very limited and traffic is insane. We purchased a one week bus and train pass for 18 euros and used that exclusively.
Also within a two minute walk is one of the best coffee and pastry shop we have ever been in. A 2 stop bus ride gets you to a Esselunga supermarket and shopping complex (1.5 km distance).
The terrace apartment is in a very safe and clean neighborhood of working families.
The apartment is clean and well equipped with a large bedroom, bath, entry hall, eat in kitchen and terrace. Entry into the building is secure as it has a locked entry. We spent 10 days there and cooked most meals. The kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher and washing machine.
The best part was our hosts Mario and Anna. They could not have been more gracious or helpful. They were always available by text to answer questions or help. They met us on arrival to explain everything. Truly nice people who want you to have a great visit. I would highly recommend this apartment
