What a wonderful hostess for our first time booking an Airbnb. My own family doesn't respond as quickly as Elena when I have a question. Her place was truly amazing from the decor, having a beautiful large home base for our five night stay, wine, espresso, location, comfort, and cleanliness. It was convenient to have a washing machine and dryer rack so we didn't have to check large bags, and only brought carry on luggage. The AC works great and is quiet. Sure there is a little noise from the traffic outside, but not near what I was anticipating. (It was a nice change of pace from listening to snoring from your spouse.) We brought wax earplugs, and they did the trick. My husband said since we saw so much of Florence, he would like to try another city in Italy next time. I said I would come back just to stay at Elena's place. THANK YOU ELENA!!!!!! Ciao! I learned that you are really only suppose to say that to friends, but I now consider Elena a friend.
