Federica's place was great. Her very nice friend, let us in and got us situated. It's located directly across the street from the Accadamia. Very well situated from all sightseeing hotspots, as well as Mercato Centrale. Washing machine. Kitchen. Balcony w view from Duomo. Privacy. Nothing fancy, but if fancy is what you need, you're probably not searching within this price range.
Enjoy Florence! A truly magical city.
