Michele's apartment is a great spot to stay in Firenze, whether you are interested in waiting in long lines to see the bounty of the Medici or wandering the Oltarno looking for a deal on leather goods. There are a few good restaurants and cafes nearby and a supermarket not too far, but really every major sight is well within walking distance in walk-friendly Florence. The place was ideally situated for us. Plus, Michele took good care of us, offering advice on avoiding other tourists (no surprise--it's hard!) and making check in and check out a breeze. If you are heading to Florence, this is a great option.
