Staying at Eleonora’s apartment just outside the heart of the city was so enjoyable. Upon arrival the place was spotless and cool which was so needed given the heat and humidity. Beds were comfortable and sleeping for two adults and two teens was perfect. Although the place is further out of the city center we enjoyed being outside of the tourist frenzy that happens there. Eleonora was so helpful with directions to her place and met us at the apartment to orient us on everything we might need to know. She also made sure to send us directions to nearby markets where we could shop for food and other items we might be needing as well as suggesting places to eat that would be true Firenzian experiences. The kitchen was perfect and having a clothes washer turned out to be a very nice feature.
