Paolo's studio was perfect for my husband's and my four-day stay in Florence. We met Paolo's son, who was very nice and helpful. The place was well-located, as advertised, close to many sites and walking distance from the train station. The kitchen was stocked with adequate supplies to cook and eat at home and had a good coffee maker. Grocery store was really close. We enjoyed staying there. The only drawbacks were that the shower is just an area of the bathroom that you pull a curtain around, so the floor of the bathroom is wet for awhile after you shower and the street was noisy. It's a lively college neighbourhood, which has it's benefits and drawbacks. The noise probably wouldn't have bothered me normally, but I was sick for a couple of days so was less tolerant than usual. Overall,this apartment is a great value and I would stay here again.
