Stefano, Paolo's brother, picked us up from the train station and walked us to his apartment. The apartment was extremely close to the train station- very convenient! Stefano was very friendly and welcoming when we first arrived. He talked briefly about the history of the building and gave us an overview of Florence which was great. The place was very clean and spacious. It's within walking distance to all major sites (ie. Ponte Vecchio), around 15 mins walk. Stefano and Paolo even created their own map and walking route suggestions- very thoughtful. Definitely would stay again!
