We spent one week in Paolo’s apartment. I wasn’t sure of the precise hour of our arrival, but the check-in was easy and flexible. We didn’t have the chance to meet Paolo personally, but he was always attentive and ready to answer whenever we sent him a message. The flat is lovely - bright and sunny, comfortable, and perfectly clean. The balcony is perfect to have a meal or just enjoy the sun. I didn’t hear any noise from the street or from the other apartments. I was afraid that the flat would be too hot, since it’s a last floor, it was July, and the weather was awfully hot. It wasn’t so – the air conditioning worked perfectly, and we always felt comfortable whenever we were there. The washing machine was definitively a plus.
The location was perfect. We had lots of bags, so it was very nice to be close to the train station of Santa Maria Novella. We never had to take a bus to visit the town – we just walked to the monuments. There are all sorts of restaurants in the street – we tried some, that were very good, at reasonable prices. The street itself is very quiet. We had a wonderful stay and we shall certainly not hesitate to repeat the experience whenever we return to Florence.
