Paolo and Carlotta's Home - large and central apartment between two nice parks

The host was extremely friendly and helpful. He made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.

The location is excellent, and the apartment is spacious and comfortable. The only suggestion I would make is that the kitchen and bathrooms could benefit from some updating. Other than that, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend it.

Everything

Paolo met us outside the nearby train station and walked us over to the apt. He went over everything we needed to know to have a lovely stay. He gave up a map and highlighted places for us to visit. He was very concerned for our comfort as there was a repair being made to the water line. He brought over extra bottles of water for us but we never lost water during our stay. There are 2 sets of keys, but my daughter had one set in her bag that she lost at a bus stop and host was very understating. There was a train strike planned on our departure day but host gave us options to get to our next destination. The apt is cozy, small by US standards, but it was comfortable for our family of 5. This is a 3rd floor apt so there are stairs to climb, not an issue for us but might be for some. Central location, close to train and walkable to all the main sites. Internet was very fast. All in all we are happy with our stay at this property and recommend it to anyone visiting Florence.

There is a washer but no dryer.

Our family of 4 had an amazing stay in Paolo’s apartment. It was clean and spacious, and the location was perfect - close to the train station, walking distance to everything, but on a quiet street just outside the busy areas. There is a lovely bakery downstairs. Paolo was an exceptional host meeting us when we arrived, giving tips on the area and providing a thoughtful welcome basket. We will stay again on our next trip to Florence.
