We had a wonderful time in Florence and Paolo's place was great. Florence was only a short stay for us as we were going between destinations, so we were really happy that his place is close to the train station and also only about a 15min walk from historic Florence. As long as you're okay with a bit of walking, Paolo's place is ideal!
Paolo and his family were incredibly helpful, he provided maps, breakfast, information, laundry facilities - they even drove us to a grocery store so that we could pick up some good olive oil. We then had dinner out with them, and they drove us up to a hill with an amazing view of the city!
A wonderful family and great place to stay. We would stay here again.
