I stayed at Elena's apartment for a whole month. The place is excellently located just 5 minutes' walk from the Duomo. Elena met me at the apartment when I arrived. (Elena lives on the same floor in the building) and she was helpful and kind. She gave me a map of the city and guided me to the nearest laundry and supermarket. She also took care that I get the English magazine "The Florentine" so that I get information about the events in the city. In the apartment I had everything I needed.
It was the perfect holiday for me!
