I highly recommend staying here when visiting Florence. Illya is a fantastic host, very friendly and flexible with check in and check out. He let me and my wife leave our luggage in the apartment before the check in time while we visited Florence, and he told us that we could leave our luggage at his place after check out if we still needed to travel some more. The room is very clean and the bed was nice, perfect for a couple. The apartment is extremely close to the tram stop, once on the tram you reach the train station in less than 10 minutes, and from there it's about a 10 minute walk to Santa María del Fiore Cathedral. The location makes it veeery convenient to not worry about getting back at night. Keep in mind, the building has no elevator and the room is in the highest (third) floor. This wasn't a problem for us, just highlighting it for anyone that may need to know.
