I enjoyed my stay in Elena's apartment. Elena's communication was excellent and also gave me detailed instructions on location and check-in. The apartment is in a secure building. It is at the top of quite a few flights of stairs with no elevator so be aware if you bring heavy luggage. The view from the apartment is lovely and you get wonderful light in the space.
It is in a great location, a short walk from the main train station (Santa Maria Novella), with shops, restaurants and bars near by. Everything in Florence is easy to walk to from this apartment. It is quite spacious however the layout is a little unusual.
The bathroom is new, clean and very nice. I enjoyed the nice hot showers ( I went in the winter). The apartment was also warm with good heating. The bed is very comfortable and there is spacious storage.
There is a washing machine in the apartment, Iron, good wifi and various other amenities apart from a coffee machine.
I would definitely stay here again. Elena was a lovely host and communicated very well.
