Paolo's place was ideal during my recent short stay in Florence. I had an early flight out, so wanted to be near the SMN train station to catch the airport shuttle. Usually, I stay away from the neighborhood near the train station, but Paolo's place was on a terrific street that was close enough, but much more peaceful and neighborhoody than expected.
What was especially great was that the apartment was recently completely remodeled, so it is VERY clean and comfortable (probably the most comfortable Airbnb bed I've ever slept in!) Stefano was there to greet me, and was absolutely charming! He gave me a list of good choices for places to eat and walks to take, etc. and made sure I had everything I needed for my comfort.
