I really enjoyed my stay at Paolo's place. The apartment is soooo beautiful and well-appointed with everything you could possibly need or want, the fixtures and appliances are all new, the two bathrooms are amazing and the bed is comfortable and huge. A REAL king bed. Not two twins pushed together like you often find in Italy. The apartment was impeccably clean and Paolo had stocked the kitchen with snacks and drinks and the bathroom with toiletries and he told me to enjoy all of it. He even brought me candy for The Epiphany! The location is perfect. The street is quiet but there is a lively piazza a minute from the front door and the market, Duomo and a million other beautiful sights are 5 minute walk away. Santa Croce is an awesome and authentic neighborhood with a million great restaurants, cafes and bars to choose from and a relaxed and traditional, yet young and vibrant energy. And, really the apartment is the most comfortable and beautiful vacation rental I've ever stayed in. I wanted for nothing while I was there. It really is a home away from home. I only wish my own home was as beautiful, clean and well-located as this place.
