Ellen's apartment was the best stay we had in the 2 weeks we spent in Europe. It's a good size for 3 adults, with a master bedroom and a second bedroom with a single bed. The bathroom and kitchen are well equipped with everything you'd need, from pots/pans/kettle to salt/pepper/cooking oil and a washing machine/iron. We cooked dinner one of the nights and it was pretty convenient. There is also a decent number of English channels on the telly. The place is extremely, extremely clean, and very prettily decorated. Elly, the manager, and the housekeeper were both very amiable and helpful. As to location, it is very close to Firenze SMN station (about 5 min walk), and it was relatively easy for us to drag our luggage to and from the apartment. It is also a walkable distance to the Duomo and shopping area. Elly recommended some restaurants and the central market, which we went to and were certainly not disappointed. I think we went back to the market three times! My family and I will DEFINITELY come back to stay here if we came for another holiday in Florence. Highly, HIGHLY recommended!!
