Paola's place was my FAVORITE stay during two weeks of travel across Italy! The pictures are the reason I chose it as it looked like to perfect little eclectic nook but was a little apprehensive of the location; however, upon arrival, I was amazed at this gem and even happier about the location! If you're questioning the location like I was before booking, I can tell you that this was only a 15 minute walk from the train station and was central to most major sites in Firenze on BOTH sides of the river. I travelled alone and felt very safe walking everywhere and returning at night.
Every part of Paola's apartment has a personal touch and it only took a few minutes to feel at home. Paola and her assistant, Laura (may have forgotten her name), were so welcoming. They both let me know of their availability, how to reach them, and gave local tips! Paola kept communication open throughout my stay, suggested day tours, farmer's markets and a few local restaurants. I especially appreciate Paola's hospitality in letting me check out late so I could continue touring Firenze the morning of my departure. I hope to return to Firenze one day and hopefully back to this lovely home!
