We got distracted on oru way to Florence through Tuscany and stopped in several towns aslong the way, we were in permanent contact with Paolo who was expecting us for check in, he actually enecuraged us to visit Sienna and San Geminiano and offered to wait for us until well in to the night. Once we arrived to Florence we got turn by turn directions to the closest Garage to park our van even Paolo jumped in to his bike to see if our van con fit in a private garage he managed to arrange for us but it was too big so we had no choice but to park in the public garage which was within walking distance to the apartment. Paolo waited for us and walked us to the apartmet which was very centrally located in as small piazza next to the Piazza de la Signoria. The building has is old and the elevator is tight but once you get to the apartment it is quite spacious. The apartmet has all the essentials and is quite confortable and quiet at night. It has air conditioning in one of the rooms and a second air conditioning unit for the living room and kitchen area. We were there at the begining of july so the room that did not have AC was a bit warmer than i would have wanted, there is a portable fan which aliviated the situation in addition to sleeping with the door to the living room open allowing the cooler air to flow. Bathrooms were very spacious and while not new they were fairly modern, one of the bathrooms included a small washing machine. The kitchen had the basics and was enough for our needs. I would choose this appartment again mainly due to the location and the space. Paolo and Christina recommended good restaurants in Florence and provided some idias for towns and places to visist nearby in Tuscany. We had alot of fun.
