Mauro was a fantastic host and was there to great us on arrival. The apartment is a short walk from the main train station which made things easy and even better, there was a market across the road where we could source all sorts of wonderful local produce. I would have loved an oven in the apartment to take advantage of some of that produce but the kitchen was otherwise well equipped. It is a working area with the market across the road so can get a little noisy at night/early in the morning. The apartment is a short walk to the duomo and other major attractions in Florence so from that point of view also really well located.
