My friend and I had great time at Bred's apartment. The apartment is beautifully decorated and has a very cool vibe. The location was also great, and we were able to walk everywhere in Florence. We did hear the carts rolling out for the leather market in the morning, but we were too tired/happy to really be bothered by it.

Bred was a great host and was very professional. One night we ended up just staying in and hanging out with him. If you want to really experience Florence and meet some locals, I highly recommend staying with Bred!
