Emanuele's apartment in Santo Spirito is very clean, cozy and modern! My wife and I stayed their for three days and it was surely a very unforgettable experience. I did not meet Emanuele in person but his partner Alfredo was at the apartment to meet us when we arrived, explained to us the facility and the neighborhood. Alfredo was also very responsive to our emails and SMS when asked about the parking, and the surroundings. Much appreciate for the help!
Lovely neighborhood with a small supermarket around he corner. Quiet from the noisy touristy area, only takes 10-15 minutes walking to re very center of the old town.
You can really tell how much effort and thought Emanuele had put in the retrofitting and redesigning of this old apartment, from the quality furniture, the appliances and the interior design. Really loved almost everything of this apartment.
There are Satelite TVs and are 999 channels, but I did not find too many channels speaking English, but who wants to watch TV in Florence?
The steep stairs of the apartment is challenging when you return home tired from all day walking and touring, the pain multiplies when you carry some big heavy trunks up and down, but I assume it is the same everywhere in old town Firenze, and it does not bother me, though I wished there could be an elevator sometimes.
Anyway, all thumbs up for this apartment, would still be my first choice next time in Firenze!
