Paola's apartment is wonderful. It is situated away from the more touristy centre of Florence but still extremely convenient (only about 10 min walk to the Duomo). Everything was clean and tidy, and Paola had provided essentials like washing up liquid, washing machine soap, olive oil and salt and pepper which made the early days of my stay much easier. The apartment is small but is equipped with all the amenities one needs. I also appreciated Paola's warm Italian welcome and the advuce she gave me on the surrounding area. Highly recommend, and would stay again!
