Paola was an excellent host who provided well for our stay in Florence. We liked how close her apartment was to the central train station/old town - a 10 min ride way. There was also a supermarket a short walk away, which was great for getting fruits and vegetables during our stay. There was a bit of street noise, bit we got used to it after a night or two. We had a good stay in Paola's apartment and would gladly recommend it to our friends.
