Paolo's place was so incredibly convenient. It's only minutes away from a train stop and numerous bus stops, surrounded by cafes and restaurants. There's even an open-air market nearby where we enjoyed going to to shop for fresh fruit. The room is exactly as shown in the pictures. The only thing that was slightly surprising for us upon arrival in person was the shower was a bit tight and water tended to leak out into the rest of the bathroom as there's only a curtain in between. We tried very hard to keep the water contained and still made a mess after every shower. :(
We really enjoyed our time in Florence and Paolo and his place really helped in shaping our experiences! He made great recommendations for where to eat, checked in with us regularly, and was so approachable. We really liked the true local experience being outside of the touristy area. We would like to stay here again when we return to Florence in the future.
