Elena's rooms are one of the best accommodations that I have stayed in. The room is spacious and very meticulously cleaned. All facilities, including the fridge, kitchen and garden, were easily accessible. It is only about a 15-20 minute walk from the center which I consider reasonable. If you are using Campo di Marte, it cannot get better than here. Apart from the room, Elena is such a wonderful host to interact with. Not only did she answer to all of our queries in less than an hour, but she gave recommendations of what to view in Florence. Talking with her was a big part of what I liked about the stay. If I visit Florence again, I would stay in Elena's place again.
