Emanuela really made me feel welcome, was completely reassuring about my arrival time changing, had stocked the flat with essentials to save me a first shop, and had gotten in touch with friends to help with directions I'd asked for.

The flat was beautiful, huge, immaculate, and had a really relaxed vibe.

The neighbourhood is very close to the centre, and just a 5-10 minute walk to the main squares, and neighbours some great trattorias and some of the best art sights in Florence being in between Santa Spirito and the Plazzo Pitti. It's also just far enough away from the very centre to be peaceful and broadly tourist free...
