Excellent location and very responsive host. Emanuele was fast with responses before and during my stay. Although he was not available to show me around the neighborhood as other reviewers have written, this did not bother me at all. He was helpful about how to get taxis (he has the number for taxi companies on the key chain; taxis in Florence cannot be hailed in the street) and answering assorted other questions I had during the stay. The apartment is lovely and had so many fluffy 100% cotton towels, I felt like I was in a resort! The fridge kept my items very cold. I did not use any other appliances in the kitchen, but if I had wanted to cook, everything was there. The air conditioning in the large bedroom worked well and kept the whole place cool. It was quite hot the week I was in Florence (90+ F/32+ C) and it was a relief to have a cool place to sleep at night. There was no living room; just a small couch in the kitchen area. Again, not an issue since I spent most of my time out and about. The location is within easy walking distance (10-20 minutes) to major museums and galleries.
