My wife and I stayed at Paolo's apartment for 5 days out of our 2 week Italian honeymoon. First of all, Florence is a wonderful city to visit. Good food, great sites, and friendly people. And Paolo is one of them. He was a gracious host, taking us to dinner on our first night at an interesting restaurant in an old prison and then to a lookout point at Piazzale Michelangelo from which we could see (and take pictures of) the entire Florence nighttime skyline. A wonderful introduction to the city!

For the rest of the week, Paolo was polite and accommodating. He allowed us to do laundry (a big help on a 2-week trip) and provided simple breakfasts as well as information and maps about the area.

Also, the room we stayed in was clean and very comfortable. We were able to sleep in one day because the room is dark and cozy. Finally, you get a private bathroom, which is also clean and big. Finally, Paolo's Wi-Fi internet is very fast, which was a big plus for us since we found a new, highly-rated restaurant for dinner each night as well as sites to see that were off the beaten path.

We stayed a long time (5 days) and were comfortable throughout. The only negative is that we didn't get to meet Yoko because she was out, which is sad because all the other reviews speak so highly of her. Yet Paolo is still quite a good host in her absence. Highly recommended.
