Paolo was an excellent host! He met us at the apartment and allowed us to leave our luggage prior to check-in. He provided very helpful information about Florence and included a map of the city. The apartment was very clean and offered plenty of room for me and my two adult daughters. The location makes it easy to get around to anywhere you want to go in Florence. There was some street noise (shouting, partying) during the night but this was not a major concern. We enjoyed our stay in Paolo's place very much!
