Elena's place was beyond what we expected! The space has so many special touches that really make it incredibly unique from the quotes on the wall to the inkwell and old books meticulously placed. We felt very welcomed (even gifted a lovely bottle of sparkly to enjoy!), and Elena and Ilaria, went above and beyond by allowing us to drop out bags much earlier than check in so that we could walk unburdened. The location is right across the river from the more commercial center of Florence, which we really liked, as we felt like we really got to see the more 'true' flavor of the city. Overall, it was a real treat and we would definitely stay again! Grazie mille!
