Paolo is a great communicator and the location is perfect for exploring Florence as it’s in the centre of everything. The place is clean and the kitchen is well stocked.
However, during my experience there
are some points I would like to mention:
1) there are semi transparent curtains installed for both windows which lacks privacy after dark as it faces other windows too
2) the king sized bed is two double mattresses, and it has lost some of its support causing us to slide into the middle
3) the maid opened the front door while my husband and I were napping in the early afternoon. We later confirmed that it was all a genuine mistake (which Paolo was very helpful and responsive).
4) walls are thin and you can hear the next door and downstairs neighbours, earplugs are highly recommended!
Overall I would recommend Paolo as a host, and the studio is ideal for if you want a central location to everything.
