My husband and I are new to living in Italy- Florence was our first real trip and Elena's "Art Factory" was perfect! The apartment was beautifully decorated and truly unique. Very clean and well kept. The complementary limoncello and breakfast items left for us by Elena was a huge perk and great warm welcome! The only con was that the walk to the tourist/busy areas were a little further than we anticipated but a little exercise never hurt anyone! Thank you Elena for making our first trip to Florence truly one of a kind!
We recommend dining at Alla Vecchio Bettola (just about a 7 minute walk from apartment) and L'Osteria di Giovanni (on the other side of the bridge) both were fabulous with friendly staff and authentic/delicious meals! Ciao!
