We had a wonderful time in Florence and Paolo's place was perfect! For starters, you cannot beat the location. You are in the center of everything and walking is possible to pretty much anywhere you would want to go in Florence. The apartment is located just behind the central market. Don't get thrown off by the fact that the alley looks a little sketchy, that's just how Florence is. We never ever felt unsafe and walked to and from his apartment numerous times at all sorts of times. When you arrive you need to buzz in, the names listed are last names- some people commented that paolo doesn't state this, well his full name is listed on the Airbnb post people! Paolo was wonderful, such a laid back nice person. He worked with us since we got there a little earlier. The apt had everything you need and was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Ladies- he has a blow dryer! You will need to take your toiletries but other than that paolo privies everything you need. I cannot recommend this place more. Paolo will tell you places to see and even encourages to let him know if you need any help throughout your visit. Thanks again for everything paolo!
