Paolo greeted us with so much warmth and hospitality, he had prepared a map, and a list of local attractions and hot spots not to miss. The apartment had so much grace and charm, and felt incredibly homely. The apartment has beautiful and rustic charm with very modern appliances, so you can experience the best of the past and the present. The location was convenient as it is close to the station as well as major tourist destinations. There is a cosy, well-priced cafe across the road which made the best coffee I have had in Italy so far and if you feel like cooking, there's a little store next door where there is delicious, freshly made pasta for sale. In the apartment there's even a bookcase, which includes travel guides on Florence and Italy in general, which are well worth looking through. We had a wonderful time at Paolo's place and we highly recommend a stay here!
