Mauro's place was even better than the description! I had my own private bathroom and private balcony. I really felt like I was staying at a 5 star hotel just from how nice and clean it was.
The location is in a great spot. A little less than a mile or so from the major sights, but a very easy (and safe) walk. I greatly enjoyed walking back here after a long day of sightseeing and eating!
Mauro was a very gracious host. He was extremely well prepared, and had a plethora of recommendations for places to see/eat ready when I arrived. He gave me lots of great advice on where to go, which helped me out a lot for planning what to do. I didn't see him after check in, but he made sure I was all situated before saying "Ciao" :)
I would absolutely recommend that anyone wishing to enjoy the city of Firenze stay in Mauro's place!
