We loved our stay at Andrea's apartment. It was in a very good location close to bars, restaurants and supermarkets to get supplies. The buses stopped right outside your door and took you to all the popular sites. We bused everywhere and found this the easiest way to get around. Half the fun was getting lost and finding another bus to get us to the correct place. You bus ticket lasts for 90 minutes so you have plenty of time to find your way. The apartment itself was charming - just what we expected for a stay in Florence. Loved getting up in the morning and sitting on the balcony. Only comment would be (and this is just us) a couple of extra pillows wouldn't go astray. Never meet Andrea but his Dad met us and he was charming. Andrea was easy to communicate with via email and everything was very relaxed. Would definitely recommend Andrea's place.
