My friend and I had such a lovely experience staying at Paolo's flat. It was our very first time in Florence, so Paolo could not have been more welcoming and even met us at the train station to personally walk us to the flat. It is just a quick stroll from most sights, and extremely clean and quiet. The room felt very open and nice too. They even had a beautiful big breakfast ready and waiting for us in the courtyard when we woke up. We couldnt have felt more at home. :) So if you plan to go to florence and would love someone to show you around, contact Paolo! Great!
