We had a wonderful time in Florence. Mauro's apartment is beautiful, spacious and very clean. It's better than the pictures!

Mauro is a charming host. He spent time with us when we first arrived, giving us a map and showing us all the places to visit. He asked what we were interested in and gave us several recommendations. He also had a comprehensive stock of leaflets about local events: what was on at the Art Deco cinema, opera etc.; and a book of restaurant recommendations to suit any budget, plus lots of other tips.

The apartment is about a 20 minute walk from the centre of Florence, and Mauro did tel us about a couple of buses we could use. We were happy walking and the trip home never seemed too long. There's not much to do in the immediate neighbourhood, but as it's so close to the centre, this didn't matter to us at all.

We'd definitely stay here again. Thanks, Mauro.
