My mother and I stayed at Paolo’s place while visiting Florence for fun. I thought Paolo’s place was a great value.
The location is excellent for visiting the sites and nearby there’s some good restaurants and the central market (with a lot of food options).
I also thought that the apartment was a bit more stylish than the photos suggest.
The beds were comfortable and the second one (located under the first bed) can actually be moved apart from the first bed so that it’s not right next to the first bed.
There were also a lot of nice touches. Paolo’s place has a washing machine, a long outdoor clothes line and clothes pins, and an indoor drying rack. I happened to get a tear in one of my clothes the day before, and the apartment had a nice little sewing kit that I was able to use to stitch it up!
