We agree with all the good comments made by the other reviewers. It's a great apartment.

Elena was there to meet us on arrival, gave us the basic orientation about the apartment, local restaurants, supermarkets etc. During our stay, we got in touch with her on the airbnb site a couple of times to find out about things like how to take out the garbage, transport options to the airport and so on, and we always got good helpful information within a couple of hours at most.

The apartment is really centrally located (a couple of blocks away from the Duomo) but is super quiet. It's well furnished/equipped, and the wifi and the heating both work really well. The big red sofa in the photo really is as comfy as it looks.

The kitchenette and dining table got a good deal of use over our 9 day stay here, as we loved coming back here after a day of sightseeing, with local produce such as fresh bread and fine Chianti Classico wines from Cantinetta Verrazzano (both within a couple minutes walk from the apartment, near Orsanmichele church) and antipasto and fruits from the Mezzo supermarket (on same street as Verrazzano).

Some lovely eateries in the area too, such as the family run Amorino which Elena recommended to us, where we enjoyed delicious panini sandwiches and local wines by the glass (couple of minutes walk away, on via Servi). For pizza take-aways we went to the Rick Steves' recommended Pizza Toto which was on the same street as Meta supermarket and Cantinetta Verrazzano. Real napolitan style pizzas by the slice!

I'd certainly recommend this apartment to my friends.
