Paola's cozy apartment is absolutely perfect. It's very nicely decorated, with modern facilities, and incredibly well-stocked. In addition to very clean sheets and towels and a fully stocked kitchen of cooking supplies, she also provided us with some juice boxes, bread, and jam for our first night, plus coffee for the morning. There are guidebooks to Florence offered in 5 different languages, maps of the city, and other guests left behind business cards from various local restaurants in a bowl that we could peruse.
The location is also excellent! Approximately a 12 minute walk (straight-line, so you won't get lost!) to the center of Florence, where you can find museums, statues, the Duomo, street vendors/artists, etc. The apartment is close enough so everything is convenient, but far enough that when you head home it's quiet and peaceful.
Absolutely loved everything, and would gladly stay there again. Thank you Paola!
