Emelia is the sweetest of hosts and her communications - right from the first inquiry, through to post checkout was impeccable. She allowed us to check in early, and two days before our trip - had already sent us detailed instructions on how to get to the apartment. We arrived by train in Florence, and the apartment was just a quick 7 minute walk from the train station, which makes it very convenient.
The apartment itself is wonderful - although being the pentouse, it does mean climbing up four flights of stairs. The stairwell is well lit with automatic lights, so other than getting our bags up, this really wasn't a problem. The apartment has a very modern and yet classic feel to it. The amenities are all new and modern, yet the charm is classic Florence. The loft space is absolutely wonderful and very unique - with thick wood beams.
As soon as we arrived, Emelia invited us to her apartment (next door) for some espresso and water before showing us around the apartment.
There are actually many good restaurants on the street, which are a better place to eat than the really touristy places near the Duomo etc.
All in all, it was a wonderful stay for us. One of the best AirBnb experiences we've had.
