Emma's apartment is located in one of the best places to stay in Florence: Oltrarno. This area is quieter and has a more local charm than the city center, and yet it's packed with nice restaurants and historical buildings and piazzas to explore. Emma's place is also located close to public transportation and the city center, making it very convenient to explore Florence on foot. The apartment itself is cozy, spacious, and quiet, and the check-in process was fast and simple.
Emma has been a great host, she was quick to respond to any questions and offer recommendations (I also highly recommend checking out her guidebook to find good places to eat around the neighborhood). Unfortunately she was not in Florence during my stay, instead I was greeted by Giovanni, a very friendly local who also gave good advice.
In summary: great location, cozy apartment and excellent host. I had a great stay here and would definitely come back!
