Elena has a really nice studio centrally situated in the city. Fine bathroom and sleeping room/kitchen with the basics needed.

When we arrived she spend an hour of giving us tips and tricks for our stay in the town. Particularly a fine walking tour was great.

The street life can be followed from a roomy balcony, where we enjoyed our breakfast. It is fun to watch the hotel personnel talking and working across the street and other persons passing by.

The studio is just next to a narrow street with restaurants which are popular with the locals. A grocery store and a bakery is in the street, too. In few steps you are in the very center in the town but living in a more local area with only few tourists.

For a good nights sleep we'll recommend ear plugs if you are not used to city life.

We enjoyed the studio and the town for a couple of days and afterwards moved to a great agriturismo, Podere il Poggiolo, in the hills nearby Firenze runned by an old friend of Elena.
