Paola is great host, and I definitely recommend staying in her appartment. We were spending our honeymoon in Florence, and Paola did her best to make it perfect (even left us a honeymoon present, thanks!).

Apparment is perfectly clean, well equiped and well placed: 20 minutes walk to the center, direct bus connection with central train station, supermarkets nearby.

It is first floor, and you hear people passing by, but it is not a big deal since the district is quite and well-doing. It never disturbed my in any way.
