Our stay in Florence was by far one of the best travel experiences we have had with an extended stay/vacation rental. Host, Paolo and his family take top honors. They made our time in Florence a 5 Star experience yet with a local, homey feel, not a touristy/hotel-type of experience. The apt. is well-appointed, (perfect if you want to cook with all of Italy's fresh ingredients, which we did often) it is exceptionally clean and functional, plus a perfect location for all activities including transportation, shopping, markets and attractions that people come to Florence to discover. Paolo checked with us frequently and went above and beyond by personally taking us to special places and making sure we were connected with our office and family. Paolo feels like a family member now and we know we will stay in touch with him, which is one of the reasons we love to travel - to know and discover new places and new people. Grazie Paolo to you and your family for all you did to make this trip very special. Ann & Greg
