Paolo's brother Stefano met us at the train station right when we arrived in town. He was an absolute pleasure to meet! He introduced us to the city while walking us to the apartment, even stopping to describe the history on sights we passed. He was engaging, friendly, helpful, and charismatic. When we got to the apartment, he provided a custom-made map that had great suggestions for walks in Florence and key places to visit. The map even included helpful words and phrases for common interactions. They also have a website with extra information to help get the best experience in Florence.

The apartment was spacious and comfortable, equipped with air conditioning and all of the essentials. The pillows were super soft! The water stayed warm in the shower. The wifi worked well. The location was very central - an easy walk to just about anywhere you'd want to go in Florence.

Paolo generously allowed us to extend checkout in order to leave our bags and enjoy the beautiful city for a few extra hours. We highly recommend this apartment - or any of Paolo's listings! Perfect hosts!
