Elena was a wonderful hostess. She met us and introduced us to the apartment and was available to help throughout our stay. The apartment was just as described. We enjoyed the Duomo view as well as the view in other directions. The location was perfect for us. It was near the center of the city, but not overrun with tourists. Should we return to Florence we would hope to stay in the apartment again. We were in Florence for over a month and enjoyed every minute of it.
