Paolo was at home to greet us, even though he was working on the day of our arrival. He was friendly and helpful, we felt that he had spent some time in preparing for us and was intent on making us feel at home. The accommodation was as described, and was homely and comfortable, he was keen to met any requests we had. In the morning he spent time with us over breakfast, which was good and Paolo is a very sociable and open person. We could not have wished for a better host. It is obvious from his visitors book that others have felt the same and we were not surprised to learn that he is often in demand. The flat is close to the station which suited us well. We spent a very pleasant evening with him visiting a restaurant and Paolo driving us to see Florence at night from a local view point, a fitting end to our time in that wonderful city. Thank you Paolo, you are a great guy.
