Elena’s apartment is a great place to explore Florence. We were able to walk easily from there and do all we wanted. The parking spot is super helpful, especially in Florence. The street is a bit busy, but the bedrooms face a courtyard and 2 doors separate you from the noise, we couldn’t hear the cars at all from the bedrooms. So nice to have air conditioning available if it gets warm, and the kitchen was awesome to be able to make breakfast and dinner.
