Where do we start. From the minute we walked into the apartment it was everything we had hoped for and more, for our nearly 2 week stay. It’s certainly a home away from home and Manu’s styling and home comfort touches are just perfect. She met us after a day of heavy rain and had even shopped and left some meats, cheeses and other lovely items so we didn’t need to go back out into the weather once we arrived. We loved her for that, it was just what we needed. The apartment was huge and with a full kitchen (with absolutely everything included, I mean everything grater, stick mixer, coffee machines, good chopping knives, boards, mixing bowls, great pots and pans etc etc) we were able to have a few wonderful meals at home using the bustling local market nearby for our supplies. The hotel class of bed linen and towels was also greatly appreciated. Manu even invited us to have drinks with her family so it really was a home away from home for us and as it was our last stop before heading home after 9 weeks travelling, it was so delightful to have been able to hang out together like friends. The location of the apartment is excellent as there really are many superb restaurants, cafes and bakeries around so you won’t even need to go too far if you are looking to experience a true Florentine neighbourhood. Our most favourite ‘home’ on our whole trip!
