The property is located near the Jewish synagog and was quiet except for the last night. Who knew the Italians were so into celebrating Halloween?!!! The location was walking distance to most things we wanted to do and there is a good restaurant next door and a supermarket a couple blocks away…and the farmers market!

This property was perfect for my last ten days in Italy. Plenty of space, thoughtfully decorated, well-stocked, comfortable bed, good shower, quiet, and not too far from the city center. None of the problems you often get with Italian properties in historic cities. Owner is excellent at communication and a good human to boot. Highly recommend.

This apartment was truly wonderful and offered an unforgettable Firenze experience! I stayed for over a month and couldn't have been happier with the place; it immediately makes you feel at home.The space was fantastic and bright: it featured a spacious living room with a comfortable dining table and large windows that let in plenty of natural light. It also had a large, peaceful bedroom, and a fully stocked kitchen. I appreciated the plenty of linen provided.The location is unbeatable, putting me close to the Duomo, all major museums, and excellent shopping.What truly made this stay special was the phenomenal service. My host, Paolo, and the housekeeper, Elena, were the most amazing team! Their warmth, genuine hospitality, and attention to detail made me feel incredibly welcome and cared for. They are absolutely the best.Highly recommended for the comfort, the location, and the incredible hospitality! I will definitely stay here again!

Our visit to Florence
The city is magnificent but the heat this year and the crowds were unbearable. The city is not that clean and garbage can be seen on the streets. But Florence is a beautiful city but the incredible number of visitors made it difficult to enjoy the city. Our apartment was adequate and our host was extremely helpful.

Well Appointed Apartment In a Great Location
My wife and I spent 11 days at Paolo's tastefully decorated apartment. Interesting art work on the walls with books and maps on the shelves. After a day of seeing the sights it was always a welcoming place to come "home" to.
Paolo is a first class gentleman and host. Excellent communication (Paolo speaks very good English) from the booking onward. He met us at the airport and gave us a tour of the neighborhood where the apartment is located. He contacted us by text several times to make sure our apartment stay was going smoothly. Major museums are all within walking distance and the train station is about a 20 - 25 minute walk. Apartment has suitable heating system and a good on-demand water heater. Plenty of bed and bath linens. The kitchen and dinning room have all the utensils and dining ware one could need.
The only caveat is it a three story walk-up. If you have difficultly with stairs, it could be problematic.
Otherwise, I wholeheartedly recommend staying a Paolo's apartment. For a couple, it is perfect in size. I wish my bed at home was as firm and as comfortable. The apartment really made the stay in a wonderful city that much more memorable.

Perfect location perfect host!
The apartment was very spacious and clean. Paolo had everything you would ever need in the kitchen, bathroom and even a large dish of candies. The refrigerator was stocked with yogurt and other items. All spices and olive all etc for cooking. Coffee tea and packaged pastries for breakfast. You can easily walk to most points of interest and good restaurants. But the best part was Paolo. He spent so much time with us helping us book the rest of our trip taking us around the neighborhood to point out where we should visit or eat. He even drove us to the train station. I feel like we made a good friend. He is wonderful. You will definitely enjoy your stay. Best host ever.

Florence Getaway
A most amazing stay! Paolo was an amazing host who went above and beyond to make us comfortable - even finding us inexpensive parking and picking us up there to take us to the apartment and then dropping us back there on our final day. The apartment is so conveniently located with a fabulous farmer’s market 2 blocks away where you can have amazing cappuccino every morning for less than 2 euros. There is also a Conrad’s grocery store around the corner which has everything you could possibly need. The apartment has every essential you could need from cooking utensils to an iron and ironing board. It is literally a less than 10 minute walk to the Duomo and area, but also convenient to the Arno for a great walk along the river.
This is a great place to stay.

great place to stay
We had a great time at Paolo's apartment. It was spotlessly clean and comfortable. I found that previous reviewers were not exaggerating when they praised Paolo's hospitality. He had fresh fruit, prosciutto, eggs, beer, chocolates left for us when we arrived. He checked in to see how we were doing and offered to take us out for gelato and coffee. (we were too busy). On the day of our departure he drove us to the station and got us into the VIP lounge. In 3 trips to Italy and 10 or 12 different accommodations he was by far the best host. Would definitely stay here again.

July in Florence
Paolo is a superb host. He received us personally at the apartment and checked in regularly by phone to make sure we were satisfied with everything during our month stay. Apartment is very quiet but close to the Duomo (8 minute walk) and to a large Conad supermarket (4 minute walk). Kitchen pantry was totally stocked making the need to visit Conad unnecessary for a short stay. Many fans and two air conditioning units kept us cool during the unusually hot month. Bed very comfortable.Thank you Paolo.

The apartment was our lucky finding in VRBO. My wife and I stayed there for 6 day and we had a wonderful time!
The apartment is warm, cozy and spacious, beautifully decorated, perfectly located in the center of the town, but very quiet.
Property owner Paolo is a wonderful person. He met us in airport and gave a wonderful tour around neighborhood, provided on arrival with a big basket full of fresh fruits and very useful recomendations. It did'n feel like staying in rental apartment - it was like visiting old good friend!
This is truly the best place to stay in Florence!

Very comfortable stay
Our week long stay was wonderful. In addition to being a well stocked apartment, everything worked, including the air conditioning which can be an iffy proposition at some locations we have stayed at. What was probably the best feature of the rental, is Paolo - the property owner. He was there to receive us and walked us round the neighborhood to point out restaurants, shopping and how to get to the various sites in Florence. On the last day, he dropped us off at our next destination. Unlike other property owners, Paolo checked in by text to make sure we were comfortable and to ask us if we needed anything - he even checked to make sure we had made it back home safely! I would definitely stay here again.

BEWARE OF UTILITIES FEE CHARGED UPON CHECK OUT PAYABLE IN CASH!
The evening before check out, the owner Paolo telephoned to check when we were leaving the next day and offered to take us to the train station. I accepted his gracious offer. Much to my surprise the next morning as we were leaving, the owner, Paolo, told me we had to pay utilities based on the meter reading. The total due was 63 Euros, which I did not have enough cash to pay, so he accepted 50 Euros. I kept insisting this utility fee was not in the property description and he kept insisting it was and not his problem if I could not see it. I should have called VRBO’s 1-800 number immediately, but we were in a hurry to catch a train. This payment was certainly not expected and I feel it should have been described in the property description if he meant to charge this. I also feel if it were to be charged we should have seen the meter reading upon check in, the reading upon check out, and the rate per kilowatt hour. In addition, 63 Euros seems quite high for the time we stayed in the apartment considering we were only using it at night and early morning. I think it would be best to up the daily rate and this way the traveler knows exactly what the price is and pays it upfront with a credit card.
As far as the apartment, it is very spacious and very well appointed. Many past travelers mention the stairs, but I do not think this should deter anyone from this property. The appliances work very well (washing machine, TV, WiFi). There are two bathrooms. They have small showers, but this is typical for Italy. The bed was a bit hard for me, but this is a personal taste, probably fine for most people. I suggest bringing a white noise machine for sleeping because the bedroom faces the street. Despite the great sound insulating windows you can still hear cars and motorcycles at night. This is something you will find in most places unless your bedroom faces an inner courtyard. The location of the apartment turned out to be a bit further from the city center than I would have liked, but keep in mind this is reflected in the price. A place closer to the city center would probably have been more expensive. My great disappointment with this property is unexpectedly having to pay utilities at an unknown rate upon checkout. If it is not listed in the property description, the owner should not be charging this fee. I telephoned VRBO upon returning home and they said I should not have paid and should have called their 1-800 number available 24 hours. Good advise.

Ana,
I'm very sorry that you have not been able to find my policies published on the vrbo web page, policies that you can have calling vrbo customer support and mentioning the case number that i have opened about your complaint
"Attached is the snap shot of your policy and you can provide your Traveler with the case number 18028820"
As you can see from the posted review of the past guests i never had any complaints about utilities, which have been calculated with the meter reading and based on the real electricity usage at the rate of 0.70€ per KW, unfortunately for us the electricity it is very expensive in italy.
attached are the @mail you wrote to me, the best answer to your review
16 settembre 2018 22:04
Dear Paolo,
I am sorry for upsetting you with my previous e-mail regarding the additional charges for the utilities upon check out on September 13th. I was surprised because I had failed to see this information on the description of fees.
Thank you again for taking us to the train station and all the lovely amenities in your apartment. I just was not aware of this fee and from my end I did not see this described. I was only able to pay you 50 Euros upon departure, since I did not know about this, but as you mentioned I understand the full amount I should have paid you is 63 Euros.
I am sorry my e-mail upset you. Thank you again for all your hospitality and kindness.
Thank you,
Ana

Dear Paolo,
Thank you for driving us to the train station on the morning of our departure. However, I looked extensively on the VRBO web site at the description of your property, and I also looked at my invoice describing the fees involved with my stay and there is no mention of our having to pay for utility charges.
I feel this was not honest and miss-represented your property. It also created a great inconvenience as that was the cash we had for the remaining two days for purchasing our transportation and expenses in Venice. I plan to contact VRBO to mention your posting is not properly describing all the fees of renting your property, since 50 Euros is a significant amount of money.
Your property is lovely, but I must mention this surprise charge upon leaving the property, since I feel this is not proper as it is not mentioned anywhere in your property description. Ana

It may be interesting to have them from guest review : "It did'n feel like staying in rental apartment - it was like visiting old good friend! " "Paolo and his apartment were the highlights of our trip to Florence!. The most elegantly appointed apartment we have ever seen on web - the pictures do not do it justice! Paolo took his time to show us around the apartment and explain how everything works - from the washing machine to the espresso machine and all the fans and everything. We were blown away at the size and comfort of this listing, and we are so glad that we were able to spend our time in Florence in this luxurious, safe apartment.. We hope to return and would highly, highly recommend this lovely apartment to anyone considering a trip to Florence. Worth mentioning: Located in the City center - easy walk to everything, very close to Duomo. 20 minute walk to train station. Surrounded by delicious eateries. 2 bathrooms! Washing machine and full kitchen. Extremely safe building with heavy, secure entry door and lighted hallway."
"I was fortunate enough to stay at this wonderful apartment for over 1.5 months while i was in Florence on Business. The apartment was very well equipped with everything you need to make your stay very comfortable. Located in a great location and close to all the major tourist attractions as well as grocery stores and restaurants. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone wanting a hassle free stay while in the historic city"
Paolo was the best!!!! Super Friendly and accommodating!!!! I felt like we were welcomed home after being out of town for too long. The place is wonderful and cozy and has all the amenities you could need to be comfy!!! The fridge was stocked. The bookshelves were filled with awesome things to read :) Ideal location right in the center of Florence and just far enough away from the tourist center to make you feel like a local :) I would love to return and stay here longer
