We had a nice 4 night stay in Emiliano's apartment. Upon arrival, we did not realize we had to press a buzzer so we waited for a while until Elisabetta came to the rescue. We were greeted with a nice bottle of wine produced by the family which was a lovely touch. The area is really what sets this place apart from others - we loved wandering around the neighbourhood and had some amazing meals here thanks to recommendations by the hosts. The apartment was nice - we were looking forward to using the laundry machine but no soap was left and it was being used so we just went to the laundry mat a couple blocks away. It was great having a larger ensuite bathroom than we were used to in other places, but beware of low water pressure at certain times - understandable in an old building :)
Thanks so much to Emiliano and Elisabetta for everything...we hope to visit Florence again!
