Emma's apartment is in a great location and is very generous in size. While I was alone, the apartment would be very comfortable for 2 friends or a couple travelling together, with ample space for setting up a laptop if you were there to work and travel. I found the street noise almost non existent, but you can definitely hear the neighbours when they move around, and the fridge has an array of noises which continue throughout the day and night! Nothing that earplugs couldnt solve for me though!
The location felt very safe for a solo female traveller, and was within easy walking distance to basically everything in Florence! Not to mention the many restaurants/bars/cafes and grocery stores nearby!
Emma was very friendly and extremely responsive, as was her friend Giovanni who helps look after the apartment.
The space had a very "lived in" feel, as if you were merely house-sitting for a friend, which may not be for everybody. Also, worth mentioning (as with most authentic Florentine accommodation), the apartment is on the 2nd floor and is only accessible via stairs, which may be steep for some.
All in all, had a great time in Florence and staying at Emma's hugely contributed to that! Was fantastic having space for myself, as well as a full kitchen when necessary, for what I believe is a great price! Highly recommend!
