The Oltrarno area is by far the most charming in Florence. We loved this sweet, small apartment, with lovely views and the sound of church bells. You do need to be OK with walking up steps, as the description made clear, but it did not bother us at all. The apartment has such a bright, clean feel with the plants and simple furnishings. It felt really good to be there. Our favorite airbnb experience so far! There are also many tiny, lovely restaurants in the area and you have a sense that you are staying in a real neighborhood. It's a relief to come home there after a day of swimming in a sea of tourists. Besides, Galileo lived for a year across the street; how many airbnb places can say that?
