Elena was an excellent host! We were familiar with Florence and knew this location would be a safe bet-and it was really even better than expected! Right in the middle of everything you could want in the city.

The apartment was clean, just as the pictures suggest (beautiful) and had everything that the description said. We had a kitchen, laundry etc which was really helpful. She was even nice enough to leave us a bottle of wine to welcome us.

In addition, her assistant Federico gave us a warm welcome and provided all of the information we could need. She provides a binder full of information on recommended clubs, restaurants, tourist activities etc. As well as helped us book a cab to get to the train station on the day of our departure (unfortunately the cab didn't show, but that was not Elena's fault! She helped us book it all the same). I would definitely stay here if you like the apartment feel/independence in not having a front desk and pre-made breakfast in the morning. We loved it.
