Emiliano was unable to meet us (and we did not meet him at all) however he organised his friend Jinky to let us in. Directions on Airbnb were not very clear but information office opposite SMN station were very helpful - it was very easy to get to maybe 10 - 15 mins dragging luggage.
Jinky met us and showed us in, explained where things were and welcomed us with a complimentary bottle of vino which was very much appreciated and was enjoyed that evening!!
First impression of the bed was not good but honestly it was very comfortable, no back pain was experienced. Shower was hot and good pressure.
The apartment was so convenient to all of Florence's sights - we walked everywhere which was exactly what I was looking for!
We were lucky enough to enjoy the free Jazz concert on NYE just outside our window in the square.
Jinky was available if we needed anything but left us to our own devices.
Small kitchen but you can cook your meals with no complaints. If you wish to live like a local and experience the city of Florence yet enjoy the peace then this place is what you're looking for. I would love to return one day. Thank you Emiliano/Elisabeth/Jinky
