Elisa made us feel very welcome in Florence by, for starters, mentioning a cafe nearby where we could sit and wait for her until she finished work, a very nice and very Italian cafe (we went back later during our trip as well to have our cappuccinos there). She then picked us at the cafe, very open and friendly and welcoming! Her apartment is absolutely great, it was much bigger than we expected based on the pictures in her account. She had breakfast ready for us (so unexpected but also so very much appreciated) and everything you could possibly need is available and really nice and clean. We felt totally at home and would love to come back. The neighbourhood is great, you're not in the super touristic buzz of Florence which makes you feel like a true local, but on foot you are in the city center within 15 minutes and you can also take a bus. We really enjoyed walking :)
One more thing very much worth mentioning: at one point we had electricity issues (fuses blown) and we couldn't solve this ourselves because we needed a special key sand Elisa came by without any hesitations or trouble and solved it for us within minutes, she even seemed very sorry to disturb our time in HER house. This made us even more convinced what a great host she is and how much she wants you as guest to feel at home and at peace. Thank you!
