Paola's home is in my favorite area: Santa Croce. This is basically the best location - a stone's throw away from Duomo and Uffizi, yet still authentic and not too touristy. It is also pretty close to the cozy Oltrarno area. Paola was a great host - even though we didn't meet her in person, she made sure everything went smooth. Perfect apartment for a couple wishing to spend a weekend in Florence!
