Emma and her family are absolutely lovely people who treated us like family from our first arrival. The apartment itself is of a unique and very historically Florentine character — a beautiful vaulted and high ceiling set of spaces, on what was once the ground floor of a 14th century hospital. The surrounding neighborhood of Santa Croce is among the most beautiful yet peaceful ones in central Firenze. The Sant'Ambrogio market only a couple minutes walk away is arguably the best in the city with unbelievably high quality and fresh produce, pasta, salumi and more. In short, we wouldn't choose anywhere else to be!
