Overall we really enjoyed our stay at Eleonora's place.

Eleonora was very nice and easy to contact. She rapidly met us at our arrival and showed us the apartment.

The apartment in itself is very nice and would be ideal for a longer stay as it is big and there is everything needed to cook, there's a wardrobe, etc. We had some issues with the wi-fi but Eleonora took care of it as soon as we mentioned it to her. The bed is not the most comfortable but that seems to be a running thread throughout our experience in Italy. Although it was quite hot when we were in Florence, the temperature in the apartment was okay, and we slept fine with the fan that was provided. There is no screen on the bedroom window so that could be an issue as there are a few mosquitoes in Florence.

City center (e.g., the Cathedral) is about 15 to 20 minutes walk but we are slow walkers.

There are quite a few new hip places on the way back (and some late night "secret" bakeries!) as well as a great outdoor bar a short walk to the north-west of her place. Florence renovated food market is fairly close and on the way to the city, you'll find tons of great stuff there too.
