Elena's place in Florence is thoughtfully put together to make you truly feel like you are in a home away from home. The attic loft is spacious and clean and has all amenities you could need. The furniture and spaces are comfortable and inviting and the outdoor terrace has a wonderful view of Florence. We especially loved the living room book where we lazed around in surrounded by books. The air conditioning was perfect to come home to after hot days walking around the city. The shower is almost like a spa experience (great pressure and temperature). There is a bus station within 5 minutes walking distance that takes you to the heart of the city and being located so close to Porta Romana, there were plenty of trattorias, pizzerias and other shopping options close by. Only caution is that there is a steep spiral staircase to get to the loft and because it is an attic loft, the roof is low and angled in some parts leading to easily bumped heads for those that are quite tall (my friend is 6 foot 3). Overall, lovely home, lovely host, perfect stay and we will certainly stay here again!
