Mauro's place was fantastic! It was clean, orderly and very nicely decorated and smelt very nice. I chose the place as I know where Mercato Centrale is so staying in the middle of Florence was a real bonus. Interestingly enough it was fairly quiet even though the neighbourhood is a busy area. We also dined at a nearby restaurant and food was great.
Mauro extended his hospitality to us by helping with our shipment of an extra luggage we did not need. He is a super host!
