Paolo's house is fantastic. Such a comfortable space, it feels larger than the photographs. It is light and airy with access to, in my opinion, the best Firenze has to offer. 1 block to the central market, eat upstairs it is awesome, 4 short blocks from academia and the duomo. And within 15 mins slow walk from Palazzo Pitti and Ufizzi. I couldn't have asked for more. While I didn't meet Paulo, his nephew was kind and spoke English comfortably enough to show me in and about the house. Thank you Paulo for a great experience.
