Elena was so welcoming and warm during our stay at the apartment. You couldn't ask for a more charming host. The location is incredible--just a ten-minute walk away from almost everything. At the same time, the apartment's placement in the building takes you far away from the noise of the street when you're inside. The air conditioners (three in all) worked incredibly well; we often turned them off for a while because we were so cold (and this when the temperature outside often reached 100 degrees fahrenheit).

The space is so comfortable and homey, and everything that you might overlook when considering your accommodations was incredible--the shower, the washing machine, the dishwasher, the bed. We dearly loved our four-week stay, and we hope to return soon. Thank you so much, Elena, for making our first trip to Florence so incredibly lovely!
