This apartment is spectacular and Elly is an amazing hostess! We arrived in Florence several hours earlier than planned, and when Elly couldn't meet us right away (because she was at work) she sent a friend over with the keys to let us in early! Elly came by later to show us around the apartment and give us recommendations about Florence--we took many of the recommendations (La Carraia for gelato, ZaZa for lunch, sunset in Piazzale Michelangelo, and the food market) and they were all fantastic! The apartment is in a great location, easy to get to from the train station and walking distance to everything we wanted to do (and just around the corner from a laundromat, which was very helpful). And it is beautifully decorated (the pictures truly do not do it justice). I would absolutely LOVE to stay here again!
