Emanuele was a fantastic host! He gave us clear directions to the Airbnb, and met us once we arrived. He gave suggestions for local restaurants both in person and via business cards left on a desk in the apartment. We ate at one, Cento Poveri, which was very nearby, affordable, and excellent (popular with locals too!) Emanuele and his family live in the same building, so we ran into him a few times during our stay and he answered any question we may have had (communication was always good throughout). The apartment is right on Piazza di Santa Maria Novella, and near the train station, but was quiet at night. It was about a 10-15 min walk to the central historical sites but very doable. The apartment was neat and clean, furnished with family heirlooms, and the kitchen and bathroom were both a good size compared to other European Airbnb’s we have stayed at. The building also has a small elevator which was helpful with luggage. We would happily stay here again!
