We loved staying in this apartment. It has been beautifully restored, retaining its original Florentine materials and history, but updated with modern conveniences like an elevator. Emanuel spent a long time showing and explaining all the architectural details and restoration work to my architect husband who was fascinated and appreciative of it all. Fantastic location, in an ancient piazza close to everything (we saw a painting of the building in the Uffizi!), but quiet sleeping at night. Communication was clear and prompt. Our host was lovely and helpful and offered great tips and special destination suggestions for the rest of our trip in Italy. Highly recommended!
