Paolo's apartment is a few short minutes' walk from everything - the station, Mercato Centrale, the Duomo. We really appreciated the bottle of wine Paolo left for us when we arrived after a long day. He also gave us personal recommendations for restaurants and things to do. The apartment is up three flights of stairs, but it's well worth the climb! The bedroom is very cozy and very quiet and sleeps 3, while the sofa bed is out in the lounge area where you can hear quiet chatter from the street below. All in all, we loved our time here in Florence and would definitely come back.
