Paola’s apartment is a very comfortable base to see Florence, it is really close to all of the major attractions, 5 minutes walk to the Duomo and the Ponte Vecchio. The bed is really comfortable, and the apartment is beautifully decorated. Whilst being in the centre of the action, it is really quiet, which is a big plus for weary travellers. The kitchen is well equipped for making your own meals if you choose to do so. This was the only apartment we have stayed in in Italy with self check in, there is a key pad on the main door. This takes the pressure off having to find the apartment at a rigid time. Paola provided lots of tips for places to go, and good restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this apartment, and would recommend it for any couple travelling to Florence.
