Paola's flat was perfect for my stay in Florence. Though Paola was not able to meet me upon check-in, she was able to remotely unlock the flat and I was inside within minutes of my arrival. The location was excellent, just a 10 minute walk from the Duomo and Uffizi Gallery and 20 minutes from Santa Maria Novella train station. The neighborhood is lively, particularly on the weekends, but I had no trouble sleeping. For light sleepers, Paola provided earplugs. I traveled with a friend and so slept on the sofa bed, which was quite comfortable. I also cooked dinner in the flat several nights; the kitchen is stocked with all the cooking supplies one would need and there is a market just a few blocks away.
Thanks, Paola, for a great stay in Florence!
