Great area from which to experience the sights and sounds of Florence. Emanuele was very helpful, pointing out excellent areas for exploration and eating. Great views from the balcony for morning coffee and evening wine. There are a few stairs to the lift, but Emanuele hoisted our luggage up for us.

I loved the location! Though I had a bit of trouble at first communicating with Emmanuel when it was actually time to meet and check-in he was very informative. The apartment does not offer salt, bath soap or shampoo so we had to go get those basics. If I had expected that I would have packed some! All in all the location is perfect, it’s clean and having a lift was great!

I stayed here the night before I proposed to my fiancé and this was the perfect start to our romantic getaway. The property is in a terrific location and Emanuele was a great host and met us upon arrival. He showed us everything there was to know about the property and surrounding sights. He recommended a terrific restaurant that made our experience so perfect. My fiancé and I cannot wait to come back and stay at this same property. No complaints at all, everything was beautiful, clean, and perfect. Thank you, Emanuele!

Great views, nice terrace (although it was so hot when we were there so we didn't use it - but we appreciated the air conditioning). This is a great place to stay in Florence.

A perfect stay! This apartment is in a great spot, centrally located to everything that you’ll want to do while in Florence.The host, Emanuele, is extremely nice and helpful as well. Upon check in, he brought us out a map of the city and drew out the locations of his favorite places to eat and visit, local markets, and all of the famous historical sites.The apartment is great as well - lots of space, a beautiful patio, and everything you could want for a stay in the city. My wife and I had a picnic lunch while opening up a bottle of wine on the terrace over looking the city, and there is even a perfect pull-out awning to keep you in the shade if it’s hot out.All in all, a great apartment that I would definitely stay at again. Highly recommend!

Apartment with a view

Delightful apartment, thoughtfully equipped (including a nice kitchen). Lovely balcony to enjoy coffee or cocktails! Emanuelle is a great host, quick to respond to queries. Central location near markets and supermarket. And easy walks to the sights of Florence. Two things to note: there are steps to the elevator, which was out of commission for several days, though our host carried the cases up when we arrived; and, as others have noted, it’s a lively neighborhood at night. Closing windows cuts noise, as do a good pair of earplugs. We were not much bothered but note this for others. Really loved this place overall!

About the host

Hosted by Emanuele

Host profile image
My name is Emanuele.
I was born and raised in Florence
I started working as a freelancer right after the high school, bringing forward my university studies
You will meet me in Florence during the check in: I will give you the key of the apartment, a map of Florence and all the information you need on the apartment that you have rented and the city of Florence (supermarkets, taxi numbers, museums, restaurants, pubs, ice-cream shops, places for shopping etc.).

Ylenia, my co-worker, is an essential part of my team!
She was born and raised in Florence as well as me.
She graduated in “Economics and Management” and specialized in Science of Tourism.
She is available to solve any doubt or questions you might have from the booking to the check in/out

We both love to travel around the world because we think that there is no better way to learn and increase our knowledge . This is the reason why we believe that contact with people from other realities is essential in order to understand the world in which we live.
We are very lucky people because we were both able to turn our passion into our profession

We hope to meet you soon in Florence!
