Where to start from? Let me first say that Mario's hospitality adds an extra layer of charm to Florence's magic; words are not enough, but I will give it a try. The apartment, with no exaggeration, is like an extension of the city's medieval architecture. The interior arches are beyond aesthetic comprehension, while all of Mario's personal touches, from everyday amenities to his very own artworks, make the house idyllic. It should be mentioned, that although the building is of some -uhm!- hundreds years old, Mario's renovation make it absolutely contemporary. Mario is a superhost in all meanings of the word: on top of a massive fridge, washing machine, oven, and beautiful shower, the guest is surprised to find an excellent collection of original DVDs to be played after engaging with local TV channels. The neighbourhood is very friendly and at the same time quiet, although the centre is a 5-10 minutes walk. I am sure I have forgotten important aspects, but please, take the present sentence as a token of honest enthusiasm about this place. As the folk say: "worth every single penny." Or: a reason to visit Florence more often!
