Paolo's apartment was absolutely delightful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect, we could walk everywhere. The area was very safe, and the security of the apartment was such that we were more comfortable leaving our passports in the apartment rather than carrying them. The apartment was well furnished and Paolo was a very gracious host. He also provided great suggestions for restaurants, our favorite was 4 Leoni, the Fiocchetti di pera in salsa di taleggio e asparagi was FABULOUS!!!! We have nothing but rave reviews for Paolo, and not only would we stay again, but we would definitely recommend the apartment to family and friends.

On a side note that might be of interest to future travelers arriving Florence by car, we opted to park our car in the Piazzale Michelangelo (which is one of the free parking areas) and we had no issues whatsoever. We left our car in the lot for 2 1/2 days. It's a bit of a walk uphill returning to the lot from Paolo's apartment, but it did save us a bit in parking fees.

All in all one of our favorite stays during our travels!
