AMAZING. Host Paolo is fantastic. Location is PERFECT. We've been to Florence before. This was BY FAR our favorite place to stay. SOME THINGS THAT WILL HELP YOU: CHECK IN: (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps will take you to the WRONG LOCATION. But the apartment is close! Just keep walking and look for the BLACK house numbers, which are residences. The RED/LIGHT BROWN numbers (where (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps takes you) are for businesses. We were 1 block away from this lovely place, and thought we were lost! Paolo saved the day by walking down the block to meet us. Thank you Paolo! NOISE: Bring some earplugs and/or a sound machine. We heard tenants above us walking around and making noise at 11 pm, midnight, 2 am and 3 am. Also a bit of noise on the street below. Earplugs did the trick. EYESHADES for those who are sensitive to the light. Paolo has provided shutters and sound proof windows (which work well). But the 4 am street cleaner's flashing lights lit up the apartment each morning. Not a problem if you are not affected by lights when sleeping. These are small things, though. This was a GREAT place, and we look forward to returning. We loved it!!!
