Paola has been the best hostess in my AirBnB experiences. She received us in time with fresh water and something to eat when we arrived from the S.M. Novella train station which is very few blocks away from the apparment. The place is absolutely fascinating, very spacious and super tidy. 10 minutes away by walking from the Ponte Vecchio and literally in front of the Mercato Centrale where you can buy the best meat, fruits and vegetables in Florence. It's near some fine restaurants where you can eat excellent italian food and a few bars where you can hang out until late. I would definetely stay again in this apparment just to chat a little more with Paola, she is great!
