Emanuele's apartment is lovely, and he and his wife are extremely responsive. Communication could not have been better or easier. The unit itself is spacious and thoughtfully decorated. The kitchen is a bit small and a little awkwardly arranged, but it is reasonably well equipped and fully functional. The back porch gets the afternoon sun and has a charming view of the backside of the neighborhood. And if you haven't stayed in the Oltrarno before, it is without a doubt the best neighborhood in central Florence—easy walking distance to all the major attractions but outside the tourist madness. We literally had dinner at different restaurants within 1 block of the apartment 4 nights. Great place in the perfect neighborhood.
