After the taxi dropped us off at the wrong address, we reached Paolo's apartment where his dear brother, Andrea, met us and graciously carried our luggage up a very long flight of stairs. The location was great for walking all around Florence, and the apartment was nicely furnished for all of our needs. It was a little noisy sometimes late at night and bright and early in the morning. A lovely bottle of Chianti was waiting for us upon arrival. Andrea again graciously carried our luggage DOWN the steep staircase after our week's stay. Special thank you to both Andrea and Paolo.
