Paolo's place was excellent. It was exactly as described and absolutely great value. Paolo himself was the best - he met us at the train station, walked us to the apartment (and helped with the luggage-he said he works out daily so he doesn't mind haha) and even gave us a brief history of Florence along the way.
The air conditioning works wonders and the soundproof windows do a good enough job of keeping out the surrounding nightly noise. The WiFi was good enough.
The location was great and all of Paolos suggestions were top notch. Would recommend Paolos place to anyone visiting Firenze!
