What a beautiful apartment! Paolo met us at the apartment as we had discussed our arrival time in advance. You can tell that he really loves what he does, as he has GREAT attention to detail. There is a lovely book that he has put together with all kinds of information about the apartment and the neighborhood. My mom was very impressed that he made some reading recommendations for her from the collection of informative books in the apartment. And we just loved the history of the property. The location is also really great... just around the corner from the Ponte Vecchio!

There were only two issues: the dampness of a basement apartment, which he runs a dehumidifier to combat and has a fan to circulate the air, and the noise from the entryway of the building. One of the two windows in the apartment faces into the hallway, and people passing by woke us up once in awhile. If you're a light sleeper, I recommend bringing a pair of ear plugs.
