Manuel’s place is nothing like all those freshly renovated Florence airbnbs that cater accomodations for tourists - it felt like a real house, one where you can easily make yourself at home and that you might end up missing once you leave. I shared it with a pretty international crowd of medium/long term Florence residents. The size and layout of the house provided plenty of privacy and enough bathrooms, so it never felt overcrowded. The location was excellent - the city center is not far and very well connected by tram, but i recommended spending time in the San Frediano neighborhood instead, which is just around the corner and much more charming.
The only downside is the kitchen isn’t so well equipped, but, if you’re in Florence, you’ll never make it home hungry anyway :)
Manuel was really helpful and communicative throughout. A five star host!
