Paola's apartment is in a high end pretty new apartment complex. It is highly secured that you have to go through 3 locked /gates/doors to get in. I consider this as a good feature. The room is very clean and stylish. It's right at the bus stop but since the room is at the inner side of the building, you have the convenience of easy access to the bus, but you don't hear any noise sleeping at night. We enjoy the stay at Paola's place, it made our Florence trip very pleasant.
