Beth Ann's place is a really quirky apartment with some great features and beautiful things in a very old part of Florence (think the building is from 15/1600s?). It's right next to the Boboli Gardens and only a 10-15 min walk into the centre via the Ponte Vecchio. It had everything we needed while we were there and was easy to find with great directions from the train station from Beth Ann. The garden terrace was lovely (and we saw Jake the gecko) but beware mosquitos and bring repellent - not something we had prepared for, and although though there are citronella candles provided they were very persistent. Handy supermarket a couple of doors down too and bus stops very close by if you need them.
