My wife and I greatly enjoyed our stay at Emanuele and Alexandra's apartment in Florence. It was very homey and well decorated (had modern flair while still retaining the original character of the apartment). We slept great as the bed was comfortable, and the bedroom was quiet and dark. The apartment was very clean, and it had everything we needed. It also had nice views, especially of the Duomo from the bedroom and shower. We really liked the neighbourhood, as it was away from the very touristy area, but still a short walk to get there. There were also many great area restaurants. Emanuele and Alexandra were amazing hosts. They were professional, and always very responsive to any questions we had (prior to and during our stay). They made some great restaurant recommendations and recommendations for vineyards to visit in the Chianti region. The bottles of wine and water they left for us were also very much appreciated. We would recommend this apartment to almost everyone, unless they have difficulty walking, as there are many flights of stairs to climb to get to the unit. We were fine with the climb though, and Emanuele was nice enough to carry my wife's luggage up the stairs for her when we arrived. We will definitely stay here again if we return to Florence.
