Elena knows the city like a true native. She met us after our flight for a midnight check-in, and took the time to write out recommendations on a map for anything we could ever need or want to visit.
The home is a cozy studio, as pictured - kitchen, closet, couch, and bed are all efficiently nestled in one room. Instead of seeming like a hotel room, it has a lived-in feel.
The street isn't a main throughway, but it does have small shops and restaurants, so it gets foot and vehicle traffic regularly. There are also metal trash collection bins outside the window and a metal grate - I'd highly recommend bringing earplugs so they don't bother you.
Location was convenient, just a couple blocks from the water and a short walk to all of Florence's sights. Made for a quick but fun visit!
