Paola's apartment is the perfect place to stay in Florence! It is beautifully decorated and equipped with everything one might need. We were especially happy about the basic drink and food supplies that Paola had provided for us. Since we were 4 girlfriends we did not really mind the openess of the space - just be aware that there are almost no closed walls and even the two bathrooms, although on two seperate levels, have no in-between wall. The location is just around the central market and in easy walking distance to everything to all major sights. Paola was a very nice host and answered every question within minutes. Highly recommended!
