A very cute apartment near to a few local bars and one or two restaurants (Massimo, the very friendly host has a useful list of recommendations) as well as a very useful and well stocked supermarket.
To get to the centre of Florence (to the Duomo) is a pretty 15 minute stroll so perfect for exploring but still feeling like you're in a real, lived-in part of the city.
The apartment itself was comfortable and clean with a couple of nice outside spaces (one private and one shared) and decorated in a classic way with a bit of a 1930s feel. It also has air conditioning which was a great relief! We really enjoyed our stay.
