Our stay was truly five star. If I could give this a sixth star, I would because Paolo was such a great host! Prior to our arrival, Paolo was sending us messages with local tips on things to do and advice on how to get there. When we arrived, he was waiting for us with drinks and snacks. He gave us a great overview of the space, the surrounding neighborhood, and Florence overall. He is the best host I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with on AirBnB. After his introduction, we really felt like we knew where we were and where we should go for food, fun, and essentials. Halfway Suite is beautiful, comfortable, and spacious. The combined washer/dryer was as advertised, the wifi was fast, the shower had excellent water pressure, there was a variety of guidebooks that proved helpful (I don't speak Italian so I used the phrasebook on our first few trips out)...Paolo was very responsive throughout the visit and set up a taxi for us to leave on our last day. Florence is a beautiful city and Halfway Suite is in a perfect location to enjoy it: close to a supermarket, a variety of cafes and restaurants, and just a few minutes walk to the Duomo. Paolo, as a host, truly enhanced the experience with his hospitality and information. I hope we can stay here again one day!
