Elly was a very nice host. She made us feel very comfortable. We really enjoyed our time in Florence and at her rental. She let us know about various restaurants in the area as well as places to visit. She also had some guidebooks on Florence available. Everything in Florence was walking distances. Although, I did try to make the Fiorentina soccer/football game, but didn't realize I needed a passport to get into the game. I had a great time none the less. During Easter Sunday the exploding cart is a must see.
