The apartment is very nice, clean and in a great part of Florence! We got great recommendations from Elisabette, who received us. We got the feeling anything we needed would have been accommodated, by Elisabette or one of her sons. I would absolutely recommend this apartment, with a caveat to those with cat or dust allergies. We seem to have been the first to stay in the apartment after the winter season, as there was a non-lived-in feel to the place (stale coffee, dried up garlic cloves, dust), and the air just seemed a bit stale. If it wasn't the dust, the apartment must have been hosting a cat sometime prior to our arrival. I suffered from typical cat/dust allergies while we stayed in this apartment and as soon as we left, I got better. I double-checked but there was no notice of pets on the property, though a cat lives in the building. For my allergy, it would mean the cat had spent time in the apartment, and as such would definitely require notice of pets living on the property. People without pet allergies often think it is the presence of the animal that triggers the allergy. But I've been allergic in houses that had no pets, but used to have pets. I would just recommend checking with Emiliano before booking. Perhaps also related to being the first stay in a while, our final night we nearly ran out of gas (on the stove) and then there was no hot water. We notified Emiliano the next morning and got an offer to shower across the hall in his brother's apartment. In my opinion, this was perfectly acceptable way of dealing with the issue in the fastest manner possible, especially on a Sunday morning in Italy. We stayed only three nights - this is the reason I did not mention the allergies to Emiliano. Other than this issue, it was a 4-star experience.
