Great place just a few minutes walk from the train station. Salvo was waiting for us as expected right in front to let us in. He was very nice & funny. You are in the beautiful Santa Maria Novella Plaza which in itself is a site to see. There are restaurants and music just steps away. It is not too far of a walk to the big must see sites either. Beautifully decorated, amazing kitchen (which we didn't get to use) with fresh herbs on the terrace, next to the washer. Watch your step if you get water on the bathroom floor, it can get slippery on the tile, so just wipe it up if you do. There is a lift if you don't want to use the stairs to the 3rd floor. Loved Firenze and hope to return someday and would definitely stay in Emanuele's home again!
