My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Paolo's Charming Apartment in Central Florence. The apartment is in a GREAT location. There are tons of awesome restaurants on the same street and it is walking distance to anywhere in the city. It's only a 5-10 minute walk to the train station (which is perfect if you want to take trains to go to/from Rome or other cities). Paolo was there to greet us when we arrived and provided a map as well as a guidebook with recommendations and important phone numbers. The internet works well in the apartment. The shower only gets hot water for 5-10 minutes at a time, but I guess that is typical in older apartment buildings in Florence. The apartment has sound proof windows which blocks out most of the noise but there is a bar across the street from the apartment and the sound carries up the stairs and through the door at night. I'm a light sleeper so I heard it but you might not...overall, we had a good experience!
