Elena was extremely welcoming on our arrival to Florence, met us at the door to her apartment, and provided great recommendations and information about the city. Her place is extremely quaint and is decorated with beautiful handmade artwork and a large amount of the furniture including the tables are all handmade. The apartment is incredibly clean, has an abundance of amenities including a well-stocked kitchen, espresso machine and tv viewing area. Elena was so sweet and her place is set in the heart of Florence just minutes from the Uffizi gallery. We would absolutely stay here again the next time we’re in Florence!
