My wife, daughter and I stayed in one of two rooms in Paolo's apartment for five consecutive nights. The room is on the ground floor; The window is facing the street (perhaps a negative to light sleepers). The place is very nice and comfortable just as described by other reviewers. Throughout our stay in August, the daytime temperature in Florence was unusually hot, around 103F (or 40C). Fortunately, the room is cooled all day by radiant floor cooling system. We sleep well every night. We did not meet Yoko, though. Yet Paolo made sure our stay and experience in Florence was perfect. He gave us a little tour around the city on the first night. He gave us information on group tours around Tuscany. He let us use his kitchen and (the most important one for me is) the washing machine. There was nothing more to ask from Paolo. We had a great experience staying at Y&B Florence Center B&B which turns out to be the best choice for us.
