The apt is in the perfect location! It's 20 min walk to most sites in Florence. There are cafes and restaurants very close; all very good. Elena was very responsive and easy to reach. Our travel was delayed on arrival which caused us to meet Elena an hour after our agreed upon time. She was very accommodating. The apt was perfect for us. A great patio for drinking coffee in the morning. The neighborhood was very nice and it was quiet at night. When we return to Florence we will stay at Mauro & Elena's apt again!
