Where to start? There are so many benefits to staying in Manuela's lovely home: location (in the heart of Florence - walking distance to all important sights and monuments), comfort (her apartment is clean, spacious, comfortable, and welcoming), accessibility (the building walking distance from the train station and is equipped with a good lift - quite helpful with heavy suitcases or tired feet). The true jewel in this crown, however, are your hosts: Manuela and Paolo. They are helpful and friendly people who are genuinely interesting in making your experience in Florence as good as it can possibly be. I would not hesitate to recommend staying with Manuela and Paolo to florentine visitors.
