Elena is a thoughtful host and made our stay in Florence very easy for us. The apartment is in an idea location. There is a bus stop very near the front door. The neighborhood has many small shops and there is a market not far from the apartment. We always felt very safe staying there. Both my husband and I enjoyed our 8 day stay there. I highly recommend Elena's apartment for anyone's stay in Florence. Elena helped us with many thoughtful suggestions thru out our stay.
