Stay at Elena's place was memorable. A unique loft in the heart of Florence. Steps to fine cuisine, beautiful museums, churches and nice views. Her place is equipped with anything you need. Washer comes in handy when traveling over a week as we were. Her kitchen is very handy for those who want to cook. We did not cook but made coffee every morning with her supply of some great espresso. She and her husband greated my wife and I when we checked in and gave a tour of the apartment and gave some tips. Full tips of where to eat and what to see was written down for us to read. They also had some very nice collect of books for tourists as we were. I would highly recommend staying with Elena! Ciao, until next time!
