We had an excellent time staying in Paolo's apartment. We were warmly met at the station by his brother and walked to the apartment. We were given travel tips along the way with places of interest kindly pointed out. The apartment was clean and exactly as described/shown in the photos. Paolo and his brother have prepared a fabulous mini guidebook for their guests use with restaurant suggestions and places to visit which was very useful. The apartment is an easy walk to the Uffizi, Accademia, the train station -and even Piazzale Michelangio (with a gelato stop along the way!). Highly recommended.
