Emanuele's apartment was a fantastic place for a few day's stay in Florence. The location is perfect -- across the river and within the walls of the old city. It is away from the masses of tourists yet still close to all of the sites of the city. Conveniently, it is only a 6 minute walk to the train and tram stations. There are also many wonderful restaurants and gelaterias nearby. The apartment has spacious bedrooms and a beautiful living area. The bathroom is a little cozier than I am used to in the U.S., but it was great to have the surprise half bath in the back bedroom. The excellent air conditioning (independently controlled in each room) was especially important in the heat of the summer, and the balcony was a nice place to relax in the evenings. Highly recommended!
