Their apartment is perfectly located away from the hustle and bustle of touristy part of Florence. The ground floor placement is ideal (especially if you have suitcases!). The bedroom and bathroom are spacious, clean and well-appointed. We felt very welcome in their apartment.

Paolo and Yoko are very gracious and generous hosts. Paolo picked us up from the train station, drove us around his home town and even took us shopping! We got a tour of Tuscany better than any commercial tour could ever provide! Yoko was fabulous company and a fantastic cook.

Highly recommend staying with them if you would like a homier stay in Firenze. Better than being guests, we felt like we were friends staying over.

Don't forget to ask about buontalenti.
