We had a short 2 night stay at Ekaterina's. She was a great host with timely communication and sound advice on travel to/in Florence. The selection of breakfast and other miscellaneous food was more than adequate. Location was nice too, away from the crowds but close enough to walk to local attractions. The loft itself was unparalleled to anything we've stayed at before; modern amenities in aged architecture. Ekaterina's hospitality and Florence's magic made us feel that our stay was shorter than we would've liked. Hope to be back, some day, some time. :)
