If you are going to Florence, you MUST stay at Eleonora’s place. The place itself is absolutely beautiful with every amenity you can ask for. The location can not be beat - you are close to everything you need and just steps away from Ponte Vecchio (go there at sunset!) Eleonora was a fantastic and helpful host. I honestly wish I had stayed longer!
Also, check out Toto for an amazing dinner. If (more like, when) I return to Florence, I will definitely stay at Eleanor’s home.
