Paolo met us at the train station and had many recommendations for our stay. His recommendation for a restaurant for locals was perfect. Great food great price. You could see that he has a great love for his native city. The apartment is just as the pictures show. There is a bar across the street but the noise did not bother us. The street is a little sketchy but characteristic of many areas in Florence.
We stayed in five airbnb locations this trip to Europe. Pablo was the only one to ask for detailed information from us including scanning our passports.
