My boyfriend and I stayed with Manuela for 3 nights in Florence and the experience couldn't have been better! Manuela and her husband are very warm and welcoming. We also splurged and had Manuela take us on a wine tour of the Chianti region. This was the best decision we ever made, since Manuela is a tour guide and was able to tell us tons of interesting details about Florence and the wineries. We were so happy that we chose to stay with Manuela and Paolo, their home is beautiful and the room was spacious and clean. The location of the apartment is also great, since it is in the middle of everything you will ever want. I would definitely recommend staying here, I know we will if we're ever in Florence again.
