Elena's apartment is absolute luxury right in the heart of Florence. There is so much space!

Although we never met Elena, she was quick to respond to our messages on the day of our arrival and meeting up with Gabriele was easy. He gave us the rundown of the place and left us to it!

The apartment is in an excellent location. So much so that we found we went past it several times a day on our way to see the sites of Florence (which was convenient for toilet stops!) There are countless places nearby with excellent food and wine-you are spoiled for choice in this spot.

The apartment is beautifully decorated. The window opens out to a lovely side street, which gives you a taste of the sounds of Florence without being too much. If you're travelling in summer, be wary of the mosquitos if you sleep with the window open! The air conditioning makes it a very comfortable place to relax and unwind after busy days, and the kitchenette is perfect for a cup of tea before bed time. The complimentary wine and chocolates were a thoughtful touch! The bathroom is just do die for. Modern fixtures that are beautifully styled. We don't think we'll find a better bathroom in Europe!

The apartment is also very secure which was important to us as we were out and about all the time.

We'd highly recommend this apartment if you want a convenient base from which to explore the city, or if you're looking for somewhere luxurious to spend time relaxing.

Thank you Elena for having us in your beautiful apartment!
