Elena was an awesome host and very responsive and accommodative with our check-in schedule. We appreciated the thoughtful touches she left in the apartment - the bed was especially comfy! We used her book of local tips often for restaurants and bars, and the recommendations were even mapped out for us relative to our location. One thing to note is that since it is in such a central location and on the 2nd floor, it can be a bit noisy outside at night, but the upside here is that you are very close to all the major sights in Florence, e.g., steps from Uffizi Gallery/Ponte Vecchio, close to Duomo, Mercato Centrale, etc.
