Such a wonderful stay at Elena's apartment in Firenze. Walking distance from the train station, plenty of little cafés and bakeries very close for breakfast, and a short walk to the main city center and sights. We didn't need public transportation at all. The apartment itself was beautiful, with a very comfortable bed, and beautiful frescoed ceiling. Elena herself was the cherry on top for our visit, she was extremely kind and welcoming, and sat down with us at check in to go over all her favorite spots in Florence for restaurants, gelato, shopping, etc. We felt like real Fiorentini going around to all the best places. We ate the best steak I've ever eaten in my life at La Trattoria Casalinga, one of Elena's recommendations. There were 2 fiorentini that sat next to us and we had an awesome conversation and learned a word in the Florentine dialect. We absolutely loved our stay.
