Paolo and Patrizia were amazing hosts for our long stay in Florence. From the welcome, to the helpful emails throughout our stay, to the fond farewell they really tried hard to make sure we had a wonderful trip. The apartment is lovely; everything was picked out with care. In fact the sofa bed was more comfortable than our bed at home. It was a very quiet apartment, especially for the ground floor, but it was ideally situated near the central part of Florence. The two bathrooms were also quite helpful when we had visitors. We did not want to leave.
