We just returned from our stay at Emanuele's apartment and, honestly, we can't wait to go back. The apartment is very pretty, clean, exactly as in the pictures. Emanuele was extremely helpful with every single request we had. Even though we didn't meet him, he was quick to respond to every question or request - and always in a kind and constructive way.
We were greeted by Alexandra, who was warm, welcoming, kind, smiling, she showed us everything we needed to know about the apartment and gave us a little book with useful tips about the city and the neighborhood. A bottle of wine and local delicacies greeted us upon arrival!
The house itself is clean, just what you would need for your stay in Florence. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you might need, the bathroom and the shower are just as pictured, the water pressure in the shower is perfect, hey, even the shampoos smelled amazing!
To make matters even better the apartment offers a beautiful view of the city, with the Duomo making a special appearance from the bedroom window.
The neighborhood is safe and modern, with many restaurants, cafes and bars within walking distance. You might think that this means that it could be noisy, but not at all. Even though there is a place ten meters from the apartment where Italians go for a glass of wine, no noise at all reaches upstairs.
All in all, we had a wonderful experience, even though I am notoriously difficult. We will definitely be returning - if they will have us! - since the apartment was really a huge part of a beautiful holiday.
