Elena is a great hostess. Gave us great directions to get to her place and was waiting with lots of useful information about Florence. The studio is very clean, comfortable and accommodating. The location was great but some earplugs will help if you are a light sleeper because of the street noise. Loved having a kitchen area and a washer. And the balcony was a plus. Elena kept in touch throughout our stay to answer any questions. Would love to go back to her place soon!
