Paola’s place was amazing. We appreciated being able to self check-in and that it was just a short walk from the train station. The apartment is on the top floor which requires climbing several stairs but it was well worth it. The apartment was delightful. We appreciated being able to do our laundry for the next leg of our trip and for a kitchen to prepare meals with produce from the markets. The bathroom is beautiful. The only thing we were dissatisfied with was that the trundle bed was several inches lower than the main bed which made snuggling at night challenging. Unfortunately there was some construction happening in the apartment below that started about 8am and ended around 5pm. Since we were early risers and out and about in the city it wasn’t as disruptive as it could have been. The location was ideal for walking to various sights like the Duomo. Be aware that Paolo prefers to use WhatsApp for communication but we insisted on using Airbnb’s app and it didn’t create any communication issues. If we return to Florence we would definitely try to stay here again.
