We had a wonderful stay in Florence and Manuela was a big part of that. She was warm, kind, informative, helpful and interesting to talk to. We immediately felt 100% welcome in her home.
The room is comfortable and very conveniently located about a 3-minute walk to the Duomo. The view from the terrace is stunning and the photos on airbnb do not do it justice. It was especially thrilling and romantic at night. The building is old but nicely renovated, with 15 foot ceilings and 200 year old frescos.
The neighborhood is a bit noisy, especially if you are there the night before a holiday, as we were, but we slept fine with the aid of our earplugs.
When we return to Florence, we will certainly want to stay with Manuela again.
