Paola is a fantastic host; she is kind, welcoming, and very responsive. The apartment is clean, spacious, and lovely. There is a long balcony that extends the length of the front of the apartment, from which there is a beautiful view. It was nice to be on the 4th floor where a breeze could be felt during the hot July days and the air conditioner was a life-saver at night. The apartment is a 2 minute walk from the Florence Academy of Art, where I was taking a class; the location is very convenient for the Academy and only a short bus ride into the city. What a lovely place, I would definitely stay there again.
