Emanuels Apartment was wonderful. We were celebrating my birthday in Florence and I wanted a nice apartment in the area of oltrarno- so Via Maggio was Perfect. It was Quiet although the street is a busy one full of wonderful antique shops. The elevator was helpful for our luggage. We loved the cut of the apartment - there is a front and a back part. The ceiling was painted and everything was light and artsy. We did go out to eat a lot, but everything was there for cooking and eating indoors. All in all, we had a great time and will be back for sure.
