We (2 adults + one 8 years old boy) stayed 2 nights in Florence in the end of June 2015. We looked for not so expensive apartments in close to the train station and center. Paolo's one is exactly satisfied all our wishes. Small, but enough comfortable apartment with step availability from all the touristic (and native) places of Florence.
Alessandro's brother Stefano met us on the train station, accompanied us to the apartment, showed it's staff and answered all our questions related to the district and some restaurant, supermarkets and bakery location. The apartment was clean enough, shower and wi-fi worked fine and due to we mostly spent our time outside we didn't have any problem with an accommodation (even due to night club located on the opposite side). Special thanks to Stefano! He is very very hospitable and welcome interlocutor.
