Arabella's apartment was a fantastic place to stay in Florence. It was a short distance from the bus and train stations so very convenient and a nice neighborhood. There were several good restaurants in the next block. When we arrived Paolo recommended a place for breakfast just down the block and it was excellent. The apartment was very modern, clean and well equipped. The amenities Arabella left for us were very nice too. When we first arrived, Paolo met us at the apartment and gave us some ideas for things to see and do. We took him up on his suggestions and we were happy we did. The next morning Arabella and Paolo contacted us to let us know of a special opening that day. We went to that also and it was an excellent exhibit. Arabella and Paolo were wonderful hosts and we highly recommend staying with them!
