I highly recommend this apartment. It is just as advertized and we throughly enjoyed our stay (4 people, in three bedrooms). The best thing is the location, in Santa Croce - a bit outside the main tourist area and with lots of good restaurants close by, as well as a market one block away. The main (Santa Novella) train station, on the other side of central Florence, is about 25 minutes walking and everything else of most interest to tourists is 5 to 20 minutes walking. Mauro and Veronica were very helpful ( Veronica met us at the apartment and provided lots of information about restaurants and other things, and later sent us information on what to do on New Years Eve; Mauro called a taxi for us when we were leaving; and Mauro's father came and solved an electricity problem within 30 minutes of it occuring). One thing to note is that utilities (heat, water) are extra, so you need to be very careful. For example, turn off the heat when you are not in the apartment.
