Elisa's apartment in Florence is clean (absolutely spotless) and modern but also felt like an authentic Florentine experience bc it's located in an old building with a lot of local flair. My husband and I stayed at her place in the height of summer (July 2017) and the AC was perfect and kept the place cool during our whole stay. The location is perfect-- centrally located and very easy to get around. We loved our stay in Florence and much had to do with staying here. We met Elisa's father and mother and they were lovely. Her father does not speak English perfectly but was very helpful and kind. It was a wonderful stay!
