My mom and I were only in Florence for one day/night but Paolo couldn't have been more hospitable. He greeted us at the apartment and even helped us with our too heavy luggage. He provided a map and pointed out his favorite places from sites to restaurants and walks, which was greatly appreciated. We made sure to try as many as possible in our short time and all was amazing! The building is beautiful and I loved the location - so close to everything. Would most definitely stay in Paolo's place on my next visit to Florence.
