Paola's place was just what we were looking for - a spacious studio with lovely decor and all the essentials needed to make a relaxing stay. The flat is on a good bus line to take you into the tourist district. And it is in a neighborhood with restaurants and shops. We had a great time and would recommend Paola's place to others. She had a great supply of guide books (in various languages) and maps that also helped us get reacquainted with Florence.
