We stayed for 4 nights at Paola's place. Although we didn't get to meet her, she was very responsive to all our queries. She messaged us shortly after we checked in to make sure that everything was fine. There is a renovation upstairs which we found out on our second day. Paola asked if we could let the lady who clean the apartment in just in case there was any dust. There was none but we were very pleased that she was concerned enough. The noise wasn't a bother since we weren't there to stay indoors during the day. There's plenty of things to do in the area!
The apartment was clean, with aircon in both the lounge and bedroom. It was spacious for two people. There's a laundromat across the road and a supermarket within two blocks. All the museums and places to visit are within a 10-15 minute walk. We arrived and left by train and the taxi fare was about 10 euros. S.M.N. Train station is walkable but I wouldn't recommend if you have heavy luggage like we did. We really enjoyed our stay at Paola's and highly recommend to everyone looking for a clean and central place to stay at in Florence.
