Paola's place is exactly as depicted in the photos. Besides the apartment itself being new and clean, the apartment building is also newly renovated. Along the same street, you will find restaurants and a pizzaria. My recommendation is a quaint restaurant named Podere which serves excellent pasta (ask for their daily specials which are not on the menu).
Paola also left extra change of bed linens and towels for us as we stayed for two weeks. Furthermore, there were bread, jam, milk and juice waiting for us when we arrived, which was very thoughtful of Paola as we were hungry and tired after a long trip. All in all, it was a wonderful stay at Paola's apartment and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice, quiet neighbourhood to stay in Florence.
