This is a clean, spacious and well appointed apartment situated very close to Santa Maria Novella train station in Florence.
Our host Emanuela was waiting at the appointed time when we arrived, and showed us the relevant features of the apartment. Personable, excellent service and very kind. Emanuela also checked on us later by text, and responded quickly when I asked about last minute restaurant suggestions for a party of 8 on a busy night.
We were traveling as a family of four, and brought along more luggage than usual because of our planned next stop after Florence. We literally walked 50-100 yards outside the station to the apartment. Because the windows of this fourth floor apartment face an interior courtyard, it was very quiet and peaceful. We did use the elevator when carrying luggage to and from the room, otherwise we used the stairs.
This host, apartment and location exceeded our expectations. Thank you very much Emanuela. We hope to stay with you again on our next visit to Florence.
