Sharika's place is exactly as described and centrally located just minutes from much of what we wanted to see. We went everywhere on foot and after touring the town, Pitti Palace & Boboli Gardens one day, we were glad for her suggestions of a restaurant very nearby. The walk to/from the train station was much easier than we expected and the food market was just around the corner. I wouldn't hesitate to book this flat again on a future visit to Florence.
