Myself and my friend had a great stay at Breditz's, I had been living in Florence for some time by the time I got to Breditz's, and the location of his apartment was perfect - close to the central areas around the Duomo, just a few paces from the fantastic Mercato Centrale, and a very easy walk to the hip area on the other side of the arno river. You were woken up by the leather market at about 9 in the morning but you can't avoid noise if you want to be in the best location. Breditz was very easy to communicate with while I planned my stay, he was always friendly and helpful. The room was very spacious, I would recommend it to all people visiting Florence!
