What a great host and location! First off, Paolo was fantastic in communicating with us throughout the whole process. He was extremely kind to meet us at the train station, which is very close to the apartment and walked us back to the apartment and gave us plenty of great tips of things to do and see around Florence which was very helpful. Also her provided us with an online map he has made which he points out many hidden gems you might miss while in Florence. Paolo was very nice and was very quick to respond to any inquiries during our stay. We had a small bar across the street that was full of locals and the staff was very friendly and surprisingly quiet for being so close and it was never an issue. There are plenty of great places to eat within a short walk of the apartment and within a 15 minute walk to most of the major tourist attractions in Florence. The apartment is small bu thas all the comforts you might need to feel at home.
