We had a great time staying at Paolo's place. It was extremely clean and in an excellent location. We could walk everywhere in Florence and come back to a lovely place, away from the noise and tourists. The neighborhood had a local feel to it and Paolo directed us towards some great restaurants near the apartment.

In addition, Paolo is a really nice guy. He kindly met at the train station and gave us a lot of good advice as to what to see in Florence. Highly recommended.
