Elenas apartment in Florence is very nice. The city is smaller so we were able to walk to the main areas from the apartment in about 20 minutes. The bus stop is only about a minute away too so catching that to the train station with our luggage was easy. The apartment itself didn't have a lot of natural light but we were out most of the time so that wasn't an issue. Everything was clean and the little snacks she provided were a welcome addition. Finding the apartment would have been an issue but luckily Elena had one of her friends waiting on the main street. Florence is a beautiful and well worth it for anyone thinking of traveling there.
