Wow, what a fantastic apartment! Great location, plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby. We arrived by train at around 9:00 PM and Paolo's brother, Stefano meet us at the train station and guided us a short walk to the apartment. It is located on a 3rd (US) floor. Apartment is located in a historic building. The apartment is extremely clean, beautifully decorated, nice furnishings, nice linens, and fully equipped with all you could ever need. Just as perfect as the photos show the place to be. There is a washer if you need to launder clothing. Paolo and Stefano have put together a map of Florence with suggested walking routes and points of interest. Stefano suggested on restaurant (same street as apt.) where we enjoyed our best dinner during our month-long European travels. There is a great deal of pride of ownership that shines in this apartment. We would definitely recommend this host and apartment. It just doesn't get any better!
