We felt so fortunate when we walked into this lovely and spacious apartment! Three great things about this place: Paolo himself, who is a gracious and knowledgable host; the comfortable and soothing apartment, and the location. Paolo welcomed us with a generous supply of food and drink, which we thought was very kind. He was a wonderful source of information about Florence and Italy generally. The apartment feels so luxurious. The colors are warm, the furniture comfortable, and there is plenty of storage room so you can get all your stuff out of the way. The kitchen is very well stocked and we cooked several meals there. The location is outstanding! It is very central and possible to walk everywhere. We also loved the proximity to an outdoor market. AND, just downstairs is a wonderful family owned trattoria. Why stay any place else?
