Paola was waiting when we arrived and made us feel right at home in her charming apartment. It was in the perfect location for us, right off San Lorenzo and so near everywhere we wanted to be! The furnishings were tasteful and simple but comfortable and clean plus the kitchen was well equipped for cooking. We made good use of the washing machine and drying rack. Not only did Paola have a list of current events and suggestions for us in Florence, but also helped with suggestions for our next destination, Viareggio. The only slight negative was some noisy neighbors in the building up late one night out of the six we were there. I would definitely stay here again and will recommend to anyone looking for a great value and fantastic location.
