This little gem of an apartment was super cosy, located right in the heart of Florence, walking distance to EVERYTHING! It’s perfect for a couple or a single person visiting Florence.
Since Paolo was unable to meet us, he had his brother welcome us to the apartment upon our arrival. He gave us a few great tips to find the Conad market near by (for fresh fruits, vegetables and meat/fish), along with the paid laundry facilities two blocks away. The apartment itself was comfortable, well furnished, and had lots of storage. We slept soundly in the great bed, and had a few cosy meals, planning out our daily excursions, sitting at the bar in the kitchen area, which was quite well furnished.
After getting our bearings in Florence, we discovered that Paolo’s place was *really* close to all the main touristic attractions in the city. In the evening, it was easy to walk over to any local restaurant for a great dinner. We explored all of Florence on foot and adored the convenience of Paolo’s apartment.
A note to those who have difficulty with noise: since Paolo’s place is close to touristic attractions, it can be a bit noisy in the evening when people exit the restaurants near by or walk/drive down the street. You can simply shut the windows, close the awesome shutters and turn on the AC unit to drown out the noise.
