This was our first time booking through Airbnb and visiting Florence. I was a bit nervous as I didn't know what to expect, but it turned out to be a great experience. Paolo greeted us at the apartment and was very friendly. The apartment had everything we needed and extras in case we forgot anything. He even provided a cot/playpen for our 2 year old to sleep in. Noise was not an issue for us. The apartment was located within walking distance from most attractions, it was very convenient to be able to walk back to the apartment and take a break. We travelled with children and the apartment was very comfortable for our family. We drove into Florence and parked at a garage near by and just walked to the apartment. The roads in Florence are very narrow, I think next time we will park outside of the center district and take a cab in. It was a little nerve-wreaking driving in the city center. Overall great place, clean, great location, and Paolo was supper friendly and accommodation. If I ever visit Florence again I will be staying here.
