We have enjoyed our stay in Paola’s apartment. Very central to the main attractions in Florence, especially to the duomo. It wasn’t as noisy even though we were close to the city. It did get very hot, but there were fans to cool us down. The stairs are indeed steep, but it wasn’t a problem for us. Self check in was easy and communication with Paola was excellent. She responded so promptly and gave us a lot of information which made our stay lovely.
