Elly is fantastic and her home is lovely! We arrived tired from traveling and she was gracious and a wealth of information on her city. She let us know everything important about her home and the community. Centopoveri is a restaurant directly downstairs and next door that is wonderful. We ate there our first night and went back on our last. Her house is very close to Firenze Santa Maria Novella station for TrenItalia, and also very near to Santa Maria Novella and il Duomo. The bridges and museums and gardens and even Piazzale Michelangelo for sunset are all walking distance. We were greatly appreciative of the air conditioning in each room as it's the end of July and so very hot, Siesta was perfect at the heat of the day and refreshing before going back out in the cooler evenings. It was also nice to open shutters and windows in the cool night for the breeze. Beautiful home, wonderful host, we would all stay here again as it's perfectly located.
