Emanuele’s place is a truly great place to stay for anyone that wants to explore Florence! It’s located in the eastern part of the city center, about 10-15 minutes walking distance from the sightseeing highlights such as the Duomo or Palazzo Vecchio.
The apartment itself is spotless and really really comfortable to relax after a day exploring the city. It has a well-equipped kitchen you can use if you want to cook your own dinner and even a washing machine!
Emanuele is a great host as well. He’s really communicative and gives very clear instructions upon arrival on how to enter the apartment. If you ask him for tips for restaurants etc., he’ll send you a list of some nice place you can try.
For those coming to Florence by car, don’t try to park your car in the city centre, but use one of the parkings on the outskirts of the city and use public transport to get to the city center. We used the Villa Constanza parking, located off the A1 autostrada. Parking there will cost you 7 euros per day, and there’s a tramway that will take you from the parking to the Santa Maria Novella train station in 25 minutes.
