Simply, Emanuela is just the sort of host you hope to find.
From the first enquiry every question was answered within an hour. We asked for various bits of information and all these requests were helpfully responded to and, we discovered, wonderfully accurate.
Emanuela was there to greet us when we arrived and showed us round the lovely apartment. She was extremely friendly and again gave us all the information we needed to make the most of our stay in fabulous Florence.
The apartment was extremely comfortable and well equipped. The photographs on Airbnb are attractive and reflect the whole space well. It is at the back of the building so is nice and quiet. Everything was perfectly clean and well ordered. Also at the end of a hot and busy day the air conditioning was very welcome, as was a reliable internet link.
The apartment is on Via Maggio which is famous in Florence for fine antique shops but there is also a rather good and very popular takeaway pizza place across the road and a bar for breakfast coffee three doors down. The historic centre of Florence is quite compact and all the main attractions are easily walkable from the apartment. Particularly close is the Pitti Palace and the fabulous Boboli Gardens and I would strongly recommend a visit . Five minutes gets you to the Ponte Vecchio and the train station is 15/20 minutes to walk.
Florence is a fantastic city to visit with so much to see and learn and staying at Emanuela's apartment gives you an ideal base from which to explore.
Thank you Emanuela. I am sure we will be back and I wholeheartedly recommend this letting.
