You won't find a better host than Elena; she's well prepared, well informed and extremely friendly. We were greeted by Elena on arrival with informative local lists of restaurants, cafés and eateries (which I preferred and loved!), as well as touristic attractions within Florence.

Although Elena's apartment is centrally located, it is at the same time, away from the main crowded area. This conveniently located apartment made it ideal explore Florence and its main attractions by foot. Besides the garbage truck that came by early every morning and the church bell ringing, the area is relatively quiet.

The apartment is clean and comfortable, and whilst we visited during summer, it wasn't too hot - Elena does provide a fan if need be. Wifi was excellent and strong. I'd highly recommend Elena's apartment, especially if you'd feel like being a local.

Elena, thank you very much for our wonderful stay. You've made our visit a memorable, especially eating with the locals and appreciating what the locals do. Love it! I would definitely stay again. Grazie mille Elena!
