We truly loved our stay at Emanuele and Alexandra's place. We stayed 7 nights and included 4 adults and 1 baby. Alexandra met us at the apartment to give us a little tour and was so sweet and welcoming. They supplied a baby bed and also had books and toys which my son loved. The apartment was surprisingly spacious and well laid out. The kitchen was well equipped and was great to cook in as we cooked all our breakfasts and a few dinners. The location is wonderful as it is situated across from a small park where our son could have some green open space to toddle around. It is also not right in the city center but in a quieter neighborhood which we loved, to be able to escape the business of the day. I loved hearing the sounds of the kids playing at the park, it made it feel like home. It was quiet at night though. There is a mini market, butcher, green grocer for produce, bakery, cafe, and great gelato (Sorbeterria) near by. They have a folder filled with local recommendations and important phone numbers which was helpful too. We were able to walk pretty much everywhere and just took the bus a couple times (tired feet and a baby) to the farthest sites like the Academia. This place is truly a gem and we would really recommend it. If we (hopefully when) we return to Florence, we will definitely be staying here again!
