We did not meet Barbara, but her friend gave us a warm welcome and explained the apartment to us. He also explained us in a charming melange of Italian and English what we had to see in Florence and what to find where. There was even a nice bottle of wine from Pittigliano waiting for us as a welcome gift.
There is no parking on the ground, so we left the car on the street in front of the building. The street is very nice and really close to the historic city centre with all the monuments waiting to be explored.
The apartment is done with a very good taste for design, well equipped and clean - and the shower is simply a dream. :-)

We can only recommend the apartment - especially for guests coming by train, as the train station is really near by. For people coming with a huge car, it might be challenging to get to the narrow street and find a parking place.
