We loved the original organization of the apartment, the decoration, the amenities (nice modern bathrooms), the cleanliness and the location. Many dining and café opportunities around (my wife and I enjoyed an early morning coffee at different places every morning). We liked the convenient location close enough (walking distance) to the Duomo, the Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi gallery etc. but away from the craziness of the touristic areas.
We loved our experience at Silvia’s place and would not consider another option in the future, should we have the chance to come back to Florence.
