Emilia's penthouse was very comfortable and Emilia and her daughter are some of the nicest people in Florence! When we arrived, Emilia was waiting and had prepared florentine oranges, treats and wine for us. The location is an easy walking distance from practically everything. It's a short walk from the train station, a short walk to the Duomo, the Piazza della Signoria, the Uffizi and the Ponte Vecchio. The apartment has a nice kitchen, a downstairs jacuzzi bathtub and an upstairs shower (with hot water!) Both bedrooms were extremely comfortable - especially the upstairs nook the skylight. You can even sleep comfortably on the upstairs couch. I would definitely stay at Emilia's penthouse again and recommend it to anyone visiting Florence.
